Best Lead Release Agent?

Recommended Posts

What have you used, and what are some positives/negatives?

Here are my findings.

Candle Soot

Positives-

Easily available

Easy to apply

Not too messy

Lasts quite a few casts before it needs re-applied

Little to no cost

Negatives-

Discolors the mold

Can get on your hands

Not permanent

Chance of burning yourself with hot wax

WD40

Positives-

Easily available

Low cost

Very easy to apply

Casts literally drop out when mold is opened

Doubles as a flux

Negatives-

Messy to apply

Lasts only a short time

Explosive if too much is used

Highly flammable if it comes into contact with your melting pot.
