Krioil

[larryw]

I was just reading an old thread about "Graphite spray on molds"
Anyone ever heard of or used Krioil lightly swabbed into the
cav's as a release agent?? Mostly I am hearing it works great???
Any experience & info on this appreciated greatly...

I believe it's Kroil your talking about. I don't think any release agent is necessary it the mold is clean and heated properly. I've had a few new molds that had burrs or some small imperfection that kept bullets from dropping readily. In those cases take a bullet from the offending cavity and drill a small hole in the base, inset a screw in it. Add some barkeepers friend or Flits to the bullet and reinsert into the mold, give it a few twists. Don't over do it unless you want to enlarge the diameter of the bullet, if your lucky and don't make it out of round. Any way this process usually removes any problems.

Not so much as a release agent but as a protective film on iron moulds for storage. It seems to burn off during warm up wo fouling the mould. RD has a sticky for leementing or mould fixes most useful for aluminum moulds (so named for its use in many many Lee moulds although it has been used in brass and even iron moulds of every brand).
