Resin Addict Forum

I'm looking for ways to make 2sided molds with sprays/etc that are easily obtainable. I learned casting/molding from tested and they used krylon crystal clear 1303 but the problem is that shipping it to EU costs twice the price-so that is a no go. What can I use? What kinds of paints etc..?

When I did 2-part moulds I used Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly). I would put some in a spoon and use a lighter to melt it into a very liquid state, then paint it on with a brush, taking care to avoid getting it on the part being moulded.

I've been told to avoid vaseline as petroleum is, of course, flammable. Explosions are fun on Mythbusters but less so in your workshop.
There are plenty of release agents available in the UK. Avoid silicone-based if you intend to paint the casts. Wax is the way to go as any residue is easily cleaned using warm water and detergent. MacWax is my personal favourite as the can produces a dispersed mist rather than a focussed squirt!

Yeah, no idea. Still, £8-12 for a spray can which lasts ages is fine with me. Easier than melting and brushing, and gives an even coat.

I'm using the Mann Ease release 200 and it's very easy to use, just a small amount (too much will make small bubbles in the surface) and wait to dry after a short time and it's ready. I'm using pressure pot and no problems!

I was using talc before but since i'm using this product i just using the spray, i think is cleaner.
