Release Agents
You have selected the rubber you require for the casting
material you want for your finished project. Now you
need a suitable release agent to ensure the casting
material releases easily from your mould.
We recommend Craft Release #25 when using plaster against
plaster. Craft Release #23 for polyurethanes such as
CraftMold rubber and J Wax and PVA release for ClearCast
Casting Resin and other polyester and epoxy resins.
Silicone rubbers fortunately rarely require a release
agent but if one is required a thin film of petroleum
is usually all that is required.
