Build the hinge separately, then dowel and bolt it to the ends of
the
mold halves.

Thanks for the suggestion.

One-piece dowel plus bolt:

Note that I have bought socket-head stripper bolts and
discovered that the thread was not truly concentric with the shoulder.
(It might have been concentric with the OD of the threads, but the PD
was certainly not concentric. Luckily, it was close enough so I could
make it work, but the upper piece would cycle as I turned the screw into
the lower piece.

Enjoy,
DoN.
