I Finally Bought Mold Release Spray! - Permanent Mold Casting with New Molding Bench!

Technology is slowly increasing at the foundry with two new additions to make life a whole lot easier. The mold release spray, Sprayon's LU 204 Dry Film Graphite Lubricant, really helped in preventing my castings from sticking to the molds. The bench makes opening and closing the molding press much easier, but pouring is a little more challenging until I can build a step stool or raised platform of some sort. All n' all, it was a successful casting session!

We have used that spray on graphite for years in our lead operation at work, it works very well.

Boron Nitride coatings are perfect for this. pretty expensive for a can but it should last a while. you can also coat the ladle with the spray

if you could skim the moulds maybe they would mate up again?

Will graphite work in a muffin tray mold?

[@greensnmachines]

I wouldn't advise eating the muffins cooked with graphite lubricant. Unless you're talking about casting ingots, then probably yes.
