We have been told that we cannot place our base molds in the processor
(and we only do it twice a year) because it supposedly causes problems
when using these cleaning reagents for recycling.  Has anyone else heard
of this or had this problem?  We have a B/R recycler.

We actually place all the molds in our oven and let
the paraffin melt off, then we run them through the
purge cycle.  We do this everyday.  Makes for better
release, but we have never used mold release.
