Paper mache in molds?

Metal Casting
pink4wheeler asked:


Does anyone have any good tips? I’ve got several chocolate molds (vintage metal and plastic 3D molds) and I want to use paper mache or celluclay in them. I was especially wondering what the best release agent is to use in the molds before casting.

  • i use a pam like spray it works great i make all kinds of mold mache . from 1in to 2 ft you may have to go in after it drys and smoth out bumps use a little bit o water and your hands or small tools to get out of mold flip upside down and tap and press on the center of eash mold it should fall out
    i hope you have as much fun as i do enjoy its a blast

  • talcum powder i would say, or corn starch. you cant use grease because you cant paint the paper mache if its greasy
