Paste Release For Free

A release agent (also mold release agent, release coating, or mold release coating) is a chemical used to prevent other materials from bonding to surfaces.Without such a barrier in place, the substrate would become fused to the mold surface, resulting in difficult clean-up and dramatic loss in production efficiency.

Are there alternative Mold Release Agents? You can use common materials like vegetable oil, mineral oil, cooking spray or petroleum jelly.

Mould release wax is a traditional and still very commonly used release agent in composites moulding and Miracle Gloss (formerly Meguiar's M-08) is one of the most trusted release waxes in the industry. Apply to the surface of a mould using a rag, buff off and repeat to build up a glossy, reliable release barrier.

For amateur builders, automotive paste wax made with carnauba wax can often be substituted for mold release wax. Meguiar's Mirror Glaze Automotive Paste Wax is one brand that has worked well for us. Avoid liquid car waxes, as they are not as effective and can cause release problems.

The two most popular mold releases used are: Partall Paste #2 (wax) and Partall #10 (PVA). When both are used together, it forms a great release system. Partall paste #2 (or other brand wax) can be used on the mold.

Wait approximately one hour after application of final wax coat before proceeding. Apply one coat of Partall Paste #2 following every cycle thereafter until mold is broken in. Using the same process described for new molds, apply one coat of Partall Paste #2 to mold surface and buff. Rewax mold as necessary.
