How do you clean away the wax from your moulds? 

Any good tips?

I use a plastic modeling tool and then a quick wipe with mould cleaner.

I treated myself to a set from the Range, £4.99 they are that good I've had another set, use them when putting the fillets in and out and for splitting the carbon from the mould, great tools.




don't remember the make but the people who make the coloured clay that kids mould then cook in the oven.

The absolute fastest way is to use a high pressure washer. But this means you can't reuse most of it, so I normally scrape the majority off before using a high pressure washer to get the remainder. Then just a quick wipe with mould cleaner to remove the residue.

put it under some hot water and clean, or use a heatgun to get it nice and soft to remove most of the wax, then clean everything with the mouldcleaner from easycomposites or some kind of degreaser and clean with soapy water before using the mould

I normally scrape the main body of wax with a strong piece of plastic and place used wax into my wax recycling bag.
Then heat up my glass table to get the mould warm, clean the mould with warm soapy water, then use easy composite mould cleaner, and repeat process if needed ...
