Flammable
Keep product away from flame and all ignition sources. Use this product in a properly ventilated area with at least room size ventilation. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. Store and use material at room temperature (73°F/23°C).
Thoroughly clean your mold to remove all traces of previous coatings and oils.
Apply Ease Release™ 300 using aerosol spray or spray equipment for bulk grades. Hold the can or spray gun 15 to 20cm from the mold surface to ensure a light, even coating. When the molds are new or have been blasted with an abrasive, “season” the mold by applying a heavy coating of release. Heat the mold to process temperature, then wipe the excess with a rag, and reapply a light coating of Ease Release™ 300 before a regular molding.
Ease Release™ 300 is fast drying and requires no baking during the normal molding process. Reapply a light coating before each molding.
Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability is recommended if performance of this material is in question.
Finishing
Thorough cleaning of molded parts is required prior to staining, painting, or bonding. For suggested cleaning procedures, consult your Mann technical representative.
There are better ways to address the issue of “Painting a Finished Casting” and still gain the benefits of using a mold release.
