Hello! I am brand new to the forum and very excited to get into resin casting. I do have a question about mold prep prior to casting.
I'm planning on prepping the mold using Stoner Release then dusting it with talc. The Alumilite casting instructions recommend warning the mold in a microwave for 1 minute per pound which in my case would be 135 seconds.
My question is.....should I warm the mold first, then spray mold release and dust with talc? Or should I spray the mold release, dust with talc then warm the mold?
I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question....I'm just trying to do things right.
BTW.....the mold has a lot of deep, intricate details....hence the use of mold release and talc.
Thanks!
