Application

Apply by either wipe or spray method. For wiping, saturate a soft 100% cotton cloth and apply an even uniform coat. Allow the wax release to dry to a haze (approximately 10-15min) depending on amount applied and ambient temperature and polish with dry cotton cloth to a high gloss if desired. When spraying use 35-50psi air pressure to produce a fine mist and deposit a uniform slightly wet film avoiding excess flooding. Wipe with soft cotton cloth when wax film dries to haze. Initially on new or reconditioned molds apply a minimum of 4 coats to seal mold surface and provide sufficient film thickness for multiple releases. Allow 30 minutes after final coat for release to cure before beginning molding process. Follow with a coat of release 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 mold condition, configuration, resin, mold cycles, effective cure of gel coat or resin and other factors. Polish step can be omitted for applications not requiring a high gloss cosmetic finish on molded part (flanges/edges, non gel coated parts, polymer concrete, etc.).. NOTE: If using as a sealer prior to paste wax, apply 2 coats as stated above waiting 30min after final polish step. Shake well before use and periodically while using. Keep container tightly closed when not in use to prevent moisture sensitive reaction.
