Where I live it is very difficult to get mold release, and shipping is Killer/not possible from other places, so I was wondering if there were alternatives to commercial Mold Release say perhaps WD-40 or something like it? Basicly I'm wondering If WD-40 would work as a mold release.

WD 40 is a No-No
A release on a silicon rubber mold for casting whitemetal parts? resin ? more clues please
If there is a department store or an auto store near by try them!
silicon sprays for wheels tyres ie auto detailing might do the trick.

The cooking spray PAM works as a mold release.

Yes and if your parts don't turn out right, at least they'll be tasty!!

Most resin parts don't really need a mold release anyway.
