Can I use the mold release used before you cast a part to make rtv not stick together when makeing a two part mold? Im trying to cast a hummer tire set in resin but dont have any rubber to rubber release agent.
Thanks

Adam, you can use Vaseline as a mold release between rubber to rubber molds halves. Just dont get any on your master. Have used it for years with no problem. Hope this helps. "Q"
ps.Another option is to cast the part as a one piece mold then cut the mold in two halves around the diameter of the tire once its cured.
