Overview

On new or reconditioned tooling, suggest use of the sealer glaze TR-301 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) and polish wipe to gloss finish. For new or reconditioned molds apply a minimum of 6 coats of paste wax, waiting approx. 30-60 minutes between applications for the wax to harden after the polish wipe. Best results obtained if after application mold is allowed to stand overnight and a subsequent final coat of wax release applied 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. Uses:
  • Open mold hand or spray lay up
  • Resin Transfer/injection (RTM) & (RIM)
  • Vacuum bag and compression molding
  • Polyester & epoxy resins
NOTE: Check suitability when heat curing or higher temperature molding above 185°F (85°C) for the TR-102 & above 210°F (85°C) for the TR-104.
