woodsac Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 What kind of molds are you using? If you're using RTV molds (the ones you buy from LC) then you can try putting a little bit of Simple Green in the cavity that has the plastic in it. Let it sit for a couple of minutes and wash it out with hot water and a soft toothbrush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tm Customs Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 If you just pour plastic w/out softener it should pic it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasbassoholic Posted August 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 thats how I got some of the plastic out but a little bit of plastic on the bottom is stubborn and wont go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigZ Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 A couple of things to try... 1: try coating the cavity with worm oil, use a light coat so it isn't slimy. 2: heat the mold at 350F for 10 minutes on a cookie sheet to release the oils in the mold. I had this problem with RTV molds from LC before, try a dab of worm oil first and if it doesn't work, heat it for 10 minutes max. Hope this helps.
