Silicone Spray Release Agent
Hi.
Can silicon spray be used as a release agent between clay and a plaster mold.
According to the packaging
Quote: Silicone Anti-Friction is a colourless, odourless, non-toxic, heat stable lubricant, designed to stop the adhering of glues, paint, felt tip pens, inks, waxes and many other messy substances to metal, wood, glass, plastic, rubber and most other surfaces.
So would that work, or would something go wrong ?

Re: Silicone spray release agent
You'ld be better off using good old Petrolium Jelly there Dean. Just thin it down with Naptha or Mineral Spirits and apply it lightly with a soft paint brush. Also be sure to seal the sculpt with some Crystal Clear Krylon spray paint before applying the jelly then plaster.

Re: Silicone spray release agent
If you use the silicone you will be chasing the plaster till the sun goes down. Just some crystal clear and than a shot of removable dulling coat. Even the jelley can cause some surface problems sometimes but not always.

Re: Silicone spray release agent
i'd just use crystal clear. the problem that can arise from using petroleum jelly is the brush strokes created when applying it. if you're careful when deciding your parting lines, you can usually pull the mold with little or no damage to the sculpt.

Re: Silicone spray release agent
You may find that the Ultracal beads up on you with CC. Thats why people use the removable dulling spray as a final coat after the CC to help with that issue. If you are doing a bust it might help to lean the piece back on some bubble wrap in a cradle to help fight against the running of the stone from the vertical surface.

Re: Silicone spray release agent
Usually works pretty good, you will still have to chase the ultracal a little but not as much. Also demold your piece as soon as the heat starts to cool down but still warm from the UC curing. This will help to peel that clay out. There is also a product called plastic cap spray that can be used instead of CC if you want to experiment in the future.
