  Hey Big Al
    I use a Teflon spray or some of the Mclube products as a safety factor. After the thickened epoxy goes on the block we drape saran wrap over the epoxy & then fit the block in place. Clamp & screw We started doing it this way to isolate the epoxy from the plate. The mold release for us is just for where the epoxy might escape. Before we began using a plastic wrap shield we had too many occasions where even using just the mold release resulted in having to tap the block more vigorously than I liked to get it free from the plate. 
    Mix the 440 filler in the epoxy till it looks &spreads like peanut butter.
    Capische??

  Terry, Ron, David, Dale, or anyone else who has done this.

  I have just finished fitting a pinblock and I'm 95% +. I would like to try using epoxy for the final perfect fit. What should I use as a release agent on the plate?

  Thanks,

  Al
