Frank Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Go to an auto body paint supplier and get wax and grease remover. It works great on the molds and your work bench too. As long as it is metal. Just wipe it on and use clean towel to dry. You will love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Dead Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 May not be right for many but I use WD 40 to clean mold and work top. Just wipe it dry. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt k Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) wd40 makes a de-greaser soap that works extremely well for cleaning aluminum molds . I dilute that soap 1:1 in my parts washer vs using varsol . You can use it in a spray bottle , just give the molds a spray , then a quick rub with a sponge , a rinse and they are good to go .

Bronzeback Cowboy Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I just use a paper towel as I go, wiping excess oil each go round. I always clean my molds prior to their use and when I'm finished I hit them with a silicon spray for storage. I find that when I get them back out the silicon spray has pooled and brings residual colors out from the tiny crevasses in the aluminum molds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
