Prepare the proper materials and equipment for the
type of connection you are making. The CADWELD ®
PLUS system requires a graphite mold, mold clamp,
CADWELD PLUS welding material cup, natural bristle
brush for mold cleaning, wire brush for cleaning/
preparing conductors, control unit, and propane torch.
NOTE: Additional materials may be required
for your specific application. Refer to your
mold instructions. Advise nearby personnel of
welding operations in the area prior to ignition.

Check to ensure the graphite mold is not worn or
broken, which could cause leakage of molten weld
metal during the reaction.
