Re: lubing molds

I tried a high-temp graphite aerosol lube from Home Depot and it works great.

lubing molds

The instructions with the Lee bullet molds indicate the molds must be lubed and smoked.

Searching the internet (cause its all true on the internet) shows views at both extremes
(paraphrased):

" I've been casting for 30yrs and never lube or smoke my molds - as long as they are
clean, bullets drop right out"

"I use (stick lube/WD-40/Franford spray lube/automotive spray silicon/etc) to lube my molds"

etc, etc.

what are the opinions of the casters here?
thanks.
