You should always use clamps on all your molds. Those molds that come with screws, knobs, etc. are ment to hold the two halves together when not in use. If your shooting several molds at the same time, the screws and knobs will get in the way. Most of the guys use the Irvin (sp) clamps.

  Alright your killing me here. It's Caney Creek Molds. And get the heavy duty clamps. Not the blue plastic ones. They cost more but worth the money.
  PS: Just picking on your typo. We all do that.

When buying clamps pay attention to the pressure they can apply. I use only 600+ for mine the 300 seem to weaken over time
