PACKAGING

Available in 14oz (397g) cans and packaged in case quantity of 12.

Application

On new or reconditioned tooling, suggest use of our sealer glaze TR-301 or TR-910 semi-permanent sealer prior to waxing for added release, gloss and mold life. Apply wax with sponge applicator in thin even circular motion to the mold surface. Allow to haze dry (approx. 5-10 min) depending on ambient temperature and polish wipe to gloss finish with softcloth (do not use micro fiber cloth). For new or reconditioned molds, apply a minimum of 6 coats of paste wax, waiting approximately 30-60 minutes between applications for the wax to set & harden after the polish wipe. Best results are obtained if after application, mold is allowed to stand overnight and a subsequent final coat of wax release applied the following day prior to gel coating. Follow with a coat of wax for the first 2-3 parts released. Then determine how many parts can be effectively produced before re-waxing is required. This will vary depending on molding condition,configuration, resin, mold cycles, effective cure of production gel coat and other factors.
