0 none. heat the hook on the side of melting pot.With needle nose bend to fit mold. The eagle claw gold and red hooks bend without breaking over the other hooks.The temper their hooks different than the others. Have been doing this with our molds for years.We set our molds on top or close to lead melter before pouring needs to be hot,hot.Be careful around kid's,grandkids.After getting mold hot all ya need to do is touch side of hot mold and then bend hook to fit.
