a number of years ago, i made wet water with dish soap and water and was pleased with the result. Scenic Express now sells a product 'super wet". i am going to be making latex molds and scenic express recommends super wet use prior to the first layer of latex. For those of you who make latex molds (e.g. for rocks), do you have a preferred wetting agent? thanks, Paul

I use a small bucket of water and a healthy squirt of dishwater soap. I dunk the mold , shake it and pour. This has worked fine for my Woodland scenics and Bragdon Enterprise molds.
when I made my molds I sprayed it down with water / dish soap no puddles and started putting down the latex to make the mold I made mine on a glass computer desk so the latex didn't stick to the desk many layers then finished off with a layer of gauze worked just fine .
Jhainer,
What brand of molds are those?
