    Lightbulb BEGINNER: Analog to silicon release agent

    I'm looking for ways to make 2sided molds with sprays/etc that are easily obtainable. I learned casting/molding from tested and they used krylon crystal clear 1303 but the problem is that shipping it to EU costs twice the price-so that is a no go. What can I use? What kinds of paints etc..?

    I'm making a two sided silicone mold, I need to superset it so it doesn't stick.

    not a lot sticks to silicone (asumeing casting silicone not caulk in a tube) so you can often get away with out any release, but it will limit the life span of the mold

    what your poring in to the mold is going to dictate your release, so I need more info to help you
    what your talking about is not so much a release, but inmold painting

    or is what your saying you need to aply release to make the 2nd 1/2 of the mold so it dosent stick to the 1st
    you might try these suply houses for standard release
