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
jelly is usually all that is required.
