Made a mold of some squid strips last night and popped it out this morning, it was 99% perfect. Because there is raised printing on the side that gets glued down certain spots had a minor amount of resin seepage underneath. But it was easily cleaned up with a pocket knife. Both molds I have made using Pam as the release agent for the resin, works good but what a gooey mess when you pop the mold. I am thinking of brushing on mineral spirits or wd-40 for the next one. less cleanup afterwards. Then someone asked what would happen if you added a little wd-40 when you mixed the resin, would it have qualities like the RTV material. Am going to mix a small amount with wd-40 in the bottom of a coffee can and make a small mold to try this theory. GS, have you ever tried using wd-40 in any capacity? I don't even know if it will mix with the resin but I figure it's worth a try. ...mrpogie
