HARDBALLERRelease agent for bedding
Guys,
Are there any substitutes as release agent for bedding compounds. My little jar of release agent has dried up but I have lots of compounds left. What have some of you used when using the Devcon two part epoxy for bedding? Thanks in advance.

meteMost waxes could be used such as a furniture paste wax. I haven't tried it but silicone mold release should work also.

Jon In TucsonBack in the olden days when we hunted dinosaurs, My buddies and I used spray Pam as a release agent. It worked fine and has a buttery taste...

new_guyKiwi neutral shoe polish is the best I've used.
IMO it works better than the commercial release agents.
