Hi
I make my own release, it is not "rocket science" I had all sorts of cracking problems until the lady that gave me the recipe saw it............ too thick.... was the reply. I find that even sitting unopened in the jar for a week ot two it seems to thicken up and will need a bit of water adding.... everyone that uses this recipe finds the same. We usually look for a "milk" consistancy....
When taking the beads of the mandrel, I put beads and mandrels in a container with water and take them off in the water, it helps clean the bead hole and remove the release from the mandrel at the same time..... then recoat and air dry. I find the thicker the coating the more problems we have with humidity as well.
regards
Gary
