The answer

It is permissible to sell molds that can be used for both lawful and unlawful purposes, unless it is known or highly probable that the buyer will use them for impermissible acts. If it is highly probable that they will be used for disobedience, then the sale is prohibited. However, if there is uncertainty, the default ruling is permissibility. There is no obligation to investigate the buyer's intention, to avoid undue hardship.
