This release prevents that accumulation while conditioning flexible mold materials to maintain their detail-capturing properties through repeated use. The formula works across polyester casting resin and clear casting epoxy, releasing cleanly from latex, rubber, urethane rubber, and silicone without leaving transfer marks on finished pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApply a thin, even coat before each pour. The conditioning agents penetrate mold surfaces to preserve flexibility and prevent cracking that develops when molds dry out between projects. Because it's solvent-free, you won't inhale harsh fumes during application or compromise intricate mold details with aggressive chemicals. The odorless formula makes it suitable for home studio work without ventilation concerns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean release means less surface finishing on cured pieces, no oily residue to wash off before painting or sealing. Regular use extends mold life significantly, protecting your investment in quality molds while ensuring consistent detail reproduction across multiple castings. Essential for anyone working through production runs or building a portfolio of cast resin work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Castin' Craft","offers":[{"title":"4 oz.","offer_id":47973835866341,"sku":"12547","price":11.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s12547.jpg?v=1761726168"},{"product_id":"mann-release-technologies-ease-release-200","title":"Ease Release 200","description":"\u003cp\u003eDemolding a freshly cast part shouldn't require prying, twisting, or prayers. Ease Release 200 prevents that struggle across an unusually broad range of materials, from polyurethane elastomers and foam to epoxy, polyester, platinum silicones, and thermoplastics. The formula works equally well whether you're casting into aluminum, chrome, steel, or silicone molds, adapting to whatever combination your project demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplication takes seconds: spray on, wait for the quick-drying formula to set, and pour. The thin coating releases parts cleanly without transferring texture or leaving residue that compromises surface detail. Temperature stability from 70°F to 500°F means Ease Release 200 handles everything from room-temperature resin casting to heated thermoplastic molding without breaking down or losing effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep this release agent on hand for prototype development, production casting, and experimental work where material combinations vary. One versatile product eliminates the need to stock multiple specialized release agents for different materials. Parts lift cleanly from molds, surfaces remain intact, and you spend less time on cleanup between pours.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mann Release Technologies","offers":[{"title":"14 fl. oz.","offer_id":47979661590757,"sku":"61517","price":10.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s61517.jpg?v=1770375841"},{"product_id":"smooth-on-smooth-on-universal-mold-release","title":"Smooth-On Universal Mold Release","description":"\u003cp\u003eMold release chemistry matters more than most casters realize until they've ruined a few pieces. Universal Mold Release uses a spray formula engineered specifically for urethane systems, both the liquid rubbers that create molds and the liquid plastics that fill them. Applied properly to prepared surfaces, it creates an invisible barrier that lets castings separate cleanly without residue, tearing, or surface defects that require tedious cleanup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formulation works across rubber, plastic, and metal molds, adapting to different surface energies while maintaining consistent release properties. This versatility matters when you're working with multiple mold types or transitioning between materials mid-project. More significantly, proper release agent use extends mold life by preventing material buildup and surface degradation that comes from repeated casting without adequate protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmooth-On packages this as a 14-ounce aerosol for controlled, even application, the spray format ensures thin, uniform coverage rather than pooled spots that create surface imperfections on finished castings. Light coats work better than heavy application; you're creating molecular separation, not a physical coating. Production casters and sculptors working with urethane systems keep this on hand because failed demolding wastes both the casting material and the time invested in the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smooth-On","offers":[{"title":"14 fl. oz.","offer_id":47981506298085,"sku":"22792","price":15.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}]}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/collections\/sculpting-mold-making-releases.oembed","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
