When using Silicone, is a release agent required for molding Dark Red Casting Wax?

[tapplastics]

@SansP3ur A release agent might make removal of the casting easier, but it would not be required. Test first

This may sound dumb, but if im using a hardened clay model, will putting it into the soft clay for the molding process cause any damage to the model? Will it make it loose its hardness?

[tapplastics]

@jjeshjod You would need to try a small experiment to determine that.

How would you mould something that is a hollow cylinder? I almost think i've got it but i'd love your input. It's flat at both ends... But hollow inside... (it's a simplified camera lens for a model of a camera i'm building for school it won't house glass or anything)

[tapplastics]

@jonnydark You would need an inner and outer mold. The trick will be removing the inner mold after the casting has cured.
