Can this be used in candle molds to help release the finished product?

I haven't tried it but I bet it would work. I use it in razors to make them last longer and it makes the blades very slick.

I see no reason why not. It is not greasy and does not leave any residue. It is food grade for pans and I use it on my scroll saw table to make the wood move easier. It is a great product. I also use it on my sliding glass door track and it does not grab dust like WD 40 does. There isn't much I would not attempt to try. The worse that would happen is, you would have to wash your mold. Go for it.

can't hurt. After washing, I use CRC Food Grade Silicone on my meat tenderizer and my grain mill which are both cast iron. It dries quickly and leaves no noticeable residue. It's safer than regular silicone.

I suppose you could. Just give it time after you spray it on for the propellent to evaporate.

I would think it would work. It will provide a slippery surface on smooth surfaces like metal and wood. I use it to allow wood to slide easily over the work surfaces of my power tools, and lot of places that need non-staining lubrication.

Hi Jennifer; this product is what I started out using to make candles in my home. It's large enough to make one 3-inch diameter by 4-inch tall container candle at a time with a little room to spare, making it easier to pour without making a serious mess and possibly burning yourself. It works well for a single container candle or small lots of votives or tea lights.

Definitely NO !!!! This wax is a paste wax which remains solvent when applied so you can spread it, but it dries very hard. . If it dries in a crack or crevice, it will leave a hard white residue which is hard to remove. I only use this wax for smooth finish woodwork. I sometimes have to use a toothpick to remove from corner joins etc. I love this wax for furniture final finishing and have used it for many years. GJR (Woodsworker)

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

Yes, but making a mold for it would be where it could become difficult. With a little ingenuity it can be done, though. Give it plenty of time to dry.

We used ours for soap molds and it worked well. We have not tried any other additional uses for this mold.

Yes. I make two part moulds out of them all the time. As long as you know what your doing with the mold and the 'key' you'll be right. It's quite flexible when set. I use it to cast liquid plastic ( type of resin) slot cars

I have used this mold several times now and there was no problem getting the resin out. Hope this helps!

Not sure of curing process of instamorh but unless it causes heat enough to degrade the surface of the impression you shouldn't have a problem. I've used the molds to cast most two part materials and have only run into one problem with an ectothermic reaction. I could salvage the Instant Mold material by reheating, though the costly material being used for the positive was a total loss. See if you can contact instamorh to find out if there is any heating involved with the transitional state of their product, if it's not to hot you can sill use the Instant Mold.

Yes - you can make nice casts of items with good detail and then use another medium to build - I used green stuff myself. On point to mention - I tried this with resin plastics and the heat created by the plastic destroyed the mold - I did get a decent copy. I just melted the instant mold and used it again with no real harm. Very nice to those one off molds you may need.

Laura, I would think so if you melt candle wax by putting this over a pot with hot water on the stove. It melts the candy coatings fine so I would think it would work for candle wax too.

I would assume that you could but the heat might cause the glue holding it in place to melt (0-0) although that already happens eventually....

I honestly don't know the answer. You could try a small test piece to see, and maybe use some sort of spray release just incase. That usually will help in most cases, unless the release reacts with one of the materials or the other.

Yes, thats the clay i use when making a piece. Just be sure to put a coat of the clear spray to seal it or the mold will tear your original apart and you'll have to scrub your mold. :) hope this helps and good luck on your work!

Yes you do. It's pretty cheap. Just spray on and let dry before pouring resin in. If the mold release spray isn't used the dried resin won't come out and if forced can crack. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. I have done it several times with highly detailed pieces, and they turned out wonderfully! The resin just popped right out with no problem/residue left, so I was able to use the same mold multiple times.

Yes, but I would spray it with a bleaching agent first. If there is some grout missing, sometimes the mold is not reachable without some type of fine instrument to help. Overall, this does a good job. You can work with it for about 10 minutes at a time and then you need to unplug it for a few minutes to refill. It heats up faster than you think, but you will be able to tell if too much water comes out. I did my shower while doing other tasks and went back and forth between the two.
