Thanks for doing this comparison video. Very helpful and informative. And if I might add…there were some FANTASTIC choices for the silicone & resin colors-not all but some 😉😂💯🔥🧡

Orange is alright I guess. 😀🦾

Good job Jake. I am part of an epoxy special interest group in San Diego (part of San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association). Mold release has been a topic discussed briefly. Your point about mold releases built for different applications was well discussed and something our group hasn't talked about enough. I will share your video with our group so they can learn also. One other question that comes up on occasion is when should a pressure pot be used vs. vacuum chamber? I believe you are one of the YT experts out there that actually use both and may be able to give a straightforward explanation. Or, you may already have a video on this. If you already have a video - or series of videos - can you send me the link or playlist to share with the group? Thank you in advance.

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you Rob for the nice compliments. As far as the pressure pot vs vacuum chamber.. I definitely should make a video on that.. stay tuned 👍

Wonderful test. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia. I use Stoner.

[@JakeThompson]

Thank you Norm 👍👍

[@WebfootResinandWoodCreations]

Thanks Jake for a very informative video. Stoner has been working well for me. I may try another soon as my can runs out.

Great video. Mold release is very important if you don’t want to keep replacing your molds. Thank you Jake for the comparison video.

Very welcome.. glad you enjoyed it 🦾

Any future video or recommendation for a release agent epoxy resin to plastic, specifically delrin plastic? Great video- thanks!

[@JakeThompson]

I’ve never used Delrin plastic. I just looked it up and Whoo hooo .. $$$$ it’s pretty high.. I know all of these will work with HDPE .. I hope that helps

[@rbfour5]

@@JakeThompson that does help. I will be using delrin with silicone molds and I don’t want to ruin the delrin parts I paid dearly for to have scanned and CNC..😮😢

[@jencstephens5452]

Can't thank you enough for making these style of compare videos so we can see whats up. Too many makers opinions are single view and bought. Not so with you! Even doing this for while, there is ALWAYS more to learn. And you show us what we can expect with each option, and if you have a preference, why. Thank you!

[@JakeThompson]

Very Welcome Jen.. I have to be honest., that’s all I have.

[@anashamad2731]

Can I use that for metal molds?

[@JakeThompson]

I spray it on the bottom of my pressure pots and it seems to work fine.

[@WackeyWorxWorkshop]

Great video buddy. I do do like it!😂

[@JakeThompson]

I do do appreciate it buddy 🎉🦾😂

[@jeffreyhau8976]

Thanks for the great review. I suggest you try Stoner A324 Rapid Release for silicone-to-silicone applications

[@JakeThompson]

@@jeffreyhau8976 Thank you Jeffery

[@AshkonHemmati]

Would you consider doing a video on safer mold releases like clear spray paint, beeswax, talc, soap, &c.?

[@JakeThompson]

Probably not.. some people use Vaseline but it will leave streaks

[@jimspaulding5385]

Well done, Jake I always enjoy watching your shoot-out videos. Thank you.💪💪💪💪

[@THE_KORE]

could you do a test with Ease Release 200

[@JakeThompson]

@@THE_KORE A quick answer is that it does about the same as the stoner .

[@Lee-haw]

Thanks for the info I just bought a dry PTFE spray I'll try it out, What do you think about it for mold release? Any of the cans you showed have this PTFE ?

[@JakeThompson]

From my understanding, PTFE spray is a lubricant, not a release agent

[@JLang-bn3hs]

What about Pam? What about silicone spray from the auto parts store?

[@JakeThompson]

I just watched a video that @aeginacraft made discussing this. I haven't tried these things, but it's interesting and it may be something I try in the future. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWqncoiFes-gi6s

[@A_Dixon]

So, if there isn't a safe space for me to use a spray, what else can be used? I'm thinking for a less profession and MUCH lower budget setting. Any insights?

[@JakeThompson]

Some people use Vaseline but you will be able to see brush marks or smear marks in the casting.. outside is safe place to do it as well.

[@robmann9970]

would have liked to watch but no sound. There only appears to be a sound effects audio track no voice track?

[@JakeThompson]

@@robmann9970 I’m sure it’s on your end.. I’m not sure what’s going on

[@FDPA-66]

No sound through half the video

[@JakeThompson]

That’s on your side. The video and audio is good for everyone else.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

I like how you got 3 solid tests with basically one pour. Love the efficiency. Edit: I did notice, however, that you didn't do a control without any mold release. One more edit: Are all of these the same size/number of uses? A per can price is meaningless, if one of them is about 100 uses, and another is only 70...

[@JakeThompson]

Thanks .. I try to not waste any time or materials.. all of them had mold release. I didn’t show it to the bowls I poured resin in. I said in the video that those were also sprayed.

[@JakeThompson]

They are all 12 oz cans.... I thought it was obvious... I was wrong. Edit. I showed closeups of all the cans. They all clearly say 12oz.

[@jeremymikhaelcogan7639]

this video made me think i broke my right earphone

[@JakeThompson]

Yeah.. Sorry bout that..

[@AQUARIUMFREAK123]

i use VASELINE on my platinum molds... lots of vaseline.. i believe that the molds will last for your entire lifespan if you use vaseline as a coating... Think about it, the resin isnt actually touching the mold itself , so how can it wear out.

[@JakeThompson]

I agree but I also need my molds to look good too.. if the Vaseline is thick or not even.. the molds look bad… I’ve been experimenting with it on some smaller molds .

[@AQUARIUMFREAK123]

i just watched a video of a guy that uses VASELINE as his mold release and then he used a HEAT GUN to melt liquify the vaseline into a light coating over his mold... it looked great.

[@JakeThompson]

@@AQUARIUMFREAK123 awesome

[@ChristianMunozartworld]

can you use mold release spray lets say to spray my mixing cups for making resin. Use them and then let my silicone mixing cups to dry and harder and it would be a easy clean up on resin tools and such? trying to find a easier way to do clean ups and such and not deal with the headache of de-resin my mixing tools. Im hoping that the spray does not come off when mixing the resin in the silicone cups and not mess up my resin projects and art if the spray does come off? @jakethompson

[@JakeThompson]

Yes sir.. I would be afraid of that exactly.. my resin mixing tools, I use denatured alcohol to clean off the tools right after pouring… I buy cheap cups and just throw them away 😳

[@justtere]

I haven’t watched the video because of no sound. However, I wanted to tell you I referred this video to @ClairesCraftyCorner because she has a question about mould release. To be continued when I get off my phone and onto my computer so I can hear it.

[@JakeThompson]

Cool.. Claire is awesome.
