How to Use
To use AquaCon, simply shake the container or stir the mixture thoroughly with a paddle or drill mixer set on a slow speed to a uniform consistency. Then, apply a thin film of the release agent to your mold surface using a brush, roller, HVLP gun, or Kwikee Sprayer. Make sure to wipe over the mold surface using a clean, soft cloth to remove any excess release agent.
