Wax. Whether it’s candle wax or wax for lost-wax jewelry casting, resin will not stick to it. The same goes for car and furniture wax.

Why do candles drip?

These are made with wax that contains stearic acid which, along with harder wax, creates a harder wax with a higher melting point.

Can you make a resin mold out of hot glue?

Since cold hot glue doesn’t stick to anything you won’t need to use any other form of mold release. Simply fill the mold with resin and cure it.
