Ive made about 5 parts out of my mould via infusion. Someparts didn’t work, combination or porosity, poor consolidation, mixing.

Anyway i have a film or build up on mould surface.

 

Easylease does a fairly good job of cleaning up but still aresidue remains.

 

Do i remove this with acetone, or a mould cleaner.

I was thinking acetone be good to strip it all off, providedi then put a good easylease coat back on.

 

Im wondering wether this residue will not come off with astandard mould cleaner.

 

Cheers Brett

Soap and warm water is all it takes to clean mine up. I always treat it as a new mould then, and reapply the release agent as if it never had been.

Thanks will try this and hopefully wont have to resort to more aggressive methods!

Mould cleaner will work  great but will remove all trace of release agents.  Same with Acetone.  A wipe of acetone over the surface of a fully cured seasoned mould shoudn't cause any problems but mould cleaner is the better choice if its available to you.
