Liquid Wrench Dry Lube, use it in the cavities, top of block and on the top side and under side of the sprue plate. I swear it lubes without causing wrinkled bullets. and they seem to jump out of the mould.
Spray it on or use liquid applied with a Q-Tip. I didn't believe this would work...I tried it and am sold...it works and is now the only stuff I use on mould. Try It !
