Hey, I'm boiling some molds now on a hot plate, in hot soapy water, in a metal paraffin pot.  

Oh and the left over coffee from yesterday might melt the nitrile. Depending on who made it.

Sincerely,

Back in the 70's we would boil metal base molds in water using a bunsen
burner and a 3 legged ring stand.
