Removing mold release from resin

[Deleted]

I am just resin modeling and have been told various ways to remove release agent from the model. From warm water and a toothbrush with dish soap, to soaking in cleaning agents.

What works best ?

Everyone seems to have their own way. But the consensus seems to be soaking in Westley's Bleche White tire cleaner followed by scrubbing with dish soap.

I have built somewhere around twenty resin kits. I have never used any product to remove "mold release." I'm not even sure if Lance uses it.........

I do wash them off in the sink with Dawn dish detergent (or whatever we have on hand)

I do use a good primer sealer, and I do sand this coat as well prior to using paint.

If you use Westley's use gloves, that stuff is nasty on bare hands.

Thanks guys, at least I have a consensus on the Westleys. Also thanks for the heads up on the gloves.
