Marbalease® Slurry Wax is a general purpose release agent

Marbalease^® Slurry Wax is a polishing compound made from a blend of hydrocarbon and microcrystalline waxes. It is particularly recommended for use as a Flange / Edge / Hat wax and can also be used as a general purpose release agent in applications where as smooth post-production finish is not required (such as the underside of marble vanities or on concrete forms).

PREPARATION OF MOLD SURFACE
Porous molds (i.e., plaster or wood) must first be sealed with lacquer or similar coating. A good surface on plaster may be obtained with automobile type primer-sealers and lacquers. Plaster molds must be completely dried.

Mold surface should be thoroughly clean and free of other parting agents, especially those containing silicone, prior to application of Marbalease^® Slurry Wax.

APPLICATION OF MARBALEASE^® Slurry Wax
Using a brush or a clean dry rag, apply Marbalease^® to surface of the mold. Wipe away excess with a clean dry rag. It is not necessary to buff mold when used as a Flange / Edge / Hat wax.

Mold surface can be prepped in advance as Marbalease^® Slurry Wax will remain “wet” up to twelve hours after application. Marbalease^® Slurry Wax will attain a hazy appearance when dry that can be seen on the mold surface.

REMOVING PART FROM MOLD
The best procedure for separating the part from the mold depends on the size and shape of the part. In most cases the part can be lifted from the mold after loosening around the edges. A jet of air between the part and the mold at the edge is sometimes useful.

On large curved parts it may be necessary to first tap over the surface with a rubber mallet. A very strong blast of air (or a few squirts with a CO₂ extinguisher) will free very rigid parts that cannot be flexed.

On a well-conditioned mold, the part should loosen and fall away easily. Using Marbalease^® Slurry Wax regularly can assist in the conditioning process, reducing parting problems and increasing production cycle efficiency.
