Oil Drop on mold (Cleaning)

General Composites Discussions Composites Talk
#1

I just noticed a drop of hydraulic oil on one of my molds.
It is a glass mold prepped with Zyvax Sealer GP and Frekote 700NC, used with carbon and Ampreg 21 epoxy resin.

Question is, is there any way to clean the mold without removing the sealer, I don’t mind the release agent as much as I usually apply a new coat of frekote after every release, but don’t want to go through the time consuming process of mold sealing every time something like this happens.

I wiped the oil drop off with a towel, but before I clean with acetone or similar I wanted to know if it would have to be re-sealed?

Just give it a 700 it will be fine

if you wipe with acetone then you gonna have to start from scratch …

i would also use a few clean tissues to clean until no residue is left and then apply the freekote ( why didnt you use the zyvax release ? out of curiosity )
