DIRECTIONS FOR USE

FORMULA FIVE® Mold Cleaner #2 should always be used in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protection equipment, including solvent resistant gloves and eye protection. Dampen a cotton cloth with FORMULA FIVE® Mold Cleaner#2

and apply to mold surface prior to touch up with semi-permanent mold release during production, to remove light resin
scumming or excess uncured semi-permanent mold release, or to reduce the surface tension of molds prepared with semi-permanent mold releases. Using a fresh clean cloth, gently wipe away dissolved residue before cleaner dries. Prior to applying mold release perform tape test in several locations to verify entire surface is clean (if tape adheres very well, the mold is clean).

LARGER SURFACES / HEAVY DEPOSITS: On larger surfaces work on manageable sections no larger than 5 ft² (0.5 m²) at a
time. Repeat on neighboring areas, overlapping to ensure complete coverage of mold surface. For removal of heavier wax or contaminant deposits apply FORMULA FIVE® Mold Cleaner #2 with a wet cotton cloth or stiff solvent resistant bristle brush.Work cleaner over mold surface with brush. Wipe away dissolved residue before cleaner dries with clean cotton cloths.Several applications may be necessary to remove stubborn deposits.
