I tighten them just enough to where they don't slip or put a crazy amount of pressure on the mold ect.I like how all the parts that contact the mold are coated/padded

Those look like nice clamps, but they distribute the pressure in a pretty focused area.  I would use bar clamps to get a more even distribution of force.

The silver and blue ones work really well.

I can give you some scrap aluminum to use as feet with those if you need it.  Just send me a note and I'll include in with your next order.
