BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Jewelry Making Rubber Mold Lubricant

Hi all, I've been using baby powder when shooting wax in my rubber molds but find in some molds the wax still sticks, I was wondering what everyone uses as a rubber mold lubricant, thanks

Hey Jack! I usually brush in some corn starch (esentially the same thing as baby powder) with a dry paintbrush so I get all the cracks and crevices....that seems to work best for me.

I think some people actually use vegetable oil sprays...anyone out there do that successfully?

Hi Jack, i use a silicone base spray and you can get it at your local jewelry supply store or even cheaper at a hardware store. it just takes one small spray and that will be sufficient for at least 10 injections.
