Collinite 900 Mold release wax

[Hoytman]

Wonder why AG is carrying a wax made specifically for molds? Hmnnnnnn...

Anyone tried this on their paint?

I bet it's a bear to wipe off.

Guess no one has used it on paint lol

I was going to ask similar. I've used the Megs Mold Release wax for a [fiberglass] mold, but was trying to figure out how it applied to detailing...

I've met people that use mold release wax for their cars. M16 is an automotive wax and it was sold for years as a mold release wax by Finish Kare.

Just apply a thin coat and it won't wipe off any harder than any other heavy wax.

What is "Mold release" wax for?

As I mentioned above, I've used it for making fiberglass molds of various items. For example, I've made a mold of a trunk floor as part of a speaker enclosure.

I also know of people who've made molds of front fenders, bumpers, and many other automotive parts.

My in-laws have a 5th wheel which they bought used. One of the fender covers for it was destroyed from a blown tire. The one on the other side was good. I used mold release wax on the fender, and laid fiberglass & resin over it. Once cured, I was able to easily separate the original fender from the fiberglass replacement that I'd made.

Here's an example of one I did years ago:

It would be difficult to remove this mold from the trunk itself without the mold release wax...

Based on this, I'm just a bit unsure about applying it (or wanting to) to paint...

I figured showing the mold alone was a bit dull & boring...

Hi Bill...

IMO: This would be similar to using Meguiar's mold release wax.
I've known of folks using M08 to wax-up their boats;
and Yes!...even sometimes their cars.


An Ode to Mold (release waxes)

"Try them: You'll be OH! so utterly amazed.
Just don't ever let them dry/become "hazed".
If so: You'll be trying to remove it for days;
Or, at least: Until you're in a coma-like daze!"

FK1000p is another mold-release product which had made a successful transition to alternative use in the detailing industry.

from what i recall of my days in the boat manufacturing industry, our mild release waxes contained bees wax. we used a lot of M08, but i can't remember if it had bees wax or not. the addition of beeswax is maybe what sets mold release waxes apart from traditional carnuaba.

FWIW, we also used PVA quite a bit when making small parts. it was like a green vinyl that acted as the release agent but it was applies thinly with a sponge. dried to a vinyl that just peeled away. it was a lot easier to work with than mold release wax. imagine being the only guy waxing the mold of a 58 foot yacht!

It's amazing how many automotive Carnauba Waxes are a blend of a
varying amount of beeswax, paraffin wax, and petroleum distillates.

This allows the Carnauba Wax to be soft enough to be spread and removed. This "blending"
also provides for maximum protection and durability...and, as some will attest: Beading.

One such carnauba wax that quickly comes to mind is P21S Concours Carnauba Wax.
