Mold Release Selection Chart
Mold Releases aid in the separation of two surfaces. When casting a mold release may be required depending on what the mold is made of as well as what material is to be casted. See Chart below for appropriate mold release selection. **Note: SILICONE MOLDS do not require a release when casting, but release helps to aid longevity.
