Hey everybody,

I try to make some parts from metal/Aluminium moulds. On the first try I had release problems and there were some defect spaces now. I used easylease 5 times on the Mould, but I had the feeling it would not really „stick“ on it.

Is there any special thing to know using easylease on metal?

Thanks

I have used aluminium for moulds for many items made in FG and CF with no issues. However, I use wax rather than liquid on the aluminium  (personal choice) with no problems. As Matt said, make sure part is fully cured before attempting release. Before adding release agent make sure aluminium is very clean, I use acetone. Repeat wiping until no more stains appear on the cloth.
