Do I need a plaster sealer for casting in an UltraCal 30 mold?

[Jdr]

Hello guys,
I want to create an UltraCal 30 mold on an Monsterclay model. After that I want to put silicone in there, but I saw in an YouTube video, that you have to put a sealer (mold soap plaster sealer, the link is below) on the walls in the inside of the plaster-mold before starting filling Silicone/ Latex in. But I'm living in Germany and it isn't possible to order a cheap plaster sealer (mold soap plaster sealer, the link is below) to Germany.
My questions are: 1.Is a plaster sealer necessary?
2.Is there an cheap alternative for mold soap plaster sealer?




Link to the only cheap plaster sealer I found: Mold Soap Plaster Sealer - 4oz

Hey, Vaseline should do the trick if you can't get any kind of "professional" sealant or the like.

Hope that helps

Jdr, check out my recently uploaded post on Re-creating Wolf Predator. I remold a suit using ultracal 30. Hope that helps . I would agree with LunaticNic about using Vaseline .
