A hot head continuous casting mold process and assembly wherein a separating and/or lubricating agent reservoir is provided in the mold, the agent being applied through channels over the surface of the mold wall by passage from the reservoir into a cavity defined by the mold wall, the hot head and the surface of molten metal. The removal of the agent from the reservoir is due to the pumping action produced during the casting operation by the shifting of the molten liquid meniscus.
