Hey all,

A question ref a .380” Lyman RB mold I just received. It has a very thin coat of wax applied to it as a rust preventative. It looks lightly used and from the paperwork in the box it came with is probably from the 1960s. Do I need to remove the wax or can I simply begin casting and it will melt away? it’s a very, very thin waxy coating.

Is this an old-school method of rust preventative from back in the day?

Thanks for the response! I just spray my molds with Rem Oil and keep them in a ziplock bag… Then use brake cleaner to remove the Oil prior to casting. I’ve never seen it done this way, but it is in great condition, so it sure worked well.
