What kind of mold release can I use?Updated 23 days ago
If casting into a silicone rubber mold, it is usually not necessary to use a mold release because of it's natural no-stick tendencies. If in doubt, Alumilite offers a Pol Ease Release 2300 that will not only help release your part but will also extend the life of your mold. If you are pouring into molds that are not made of silicone, a thick layer paste wax or Stoner is required. If you use a mold release, you may need to wash your parts prior to painting in order for the paint to stick. Pol Ease 2500 Mold Release is a dry film release used for separating silicone to silicone, urethane to urethane or urethanes from silicone. It is not as effective as a mold life extender as the Pol Ease 2300 Mold Release but can be used between a wide range of materials as where the Pol Ease 2300 is used primarily for releasing urethanes from a mold.
