The_Natural Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Reel Magic is indeed silicone, but you have to be careful with the grade of silicone you buy. Walmart carries CRC silicone spray, and it is a good silicone that is food grade approved, but it does leave a little more residue, or 'greasier' feel versus reel magic. Ideally, you want a high-grade dry silicone, and there are a couple of brands that can be purchased online. Clearco is probably the best commercial brand you can buy, and they supply industrial food manufacturers for use as a mold release. Clearco sells to the public, but you have to buy a case at a time. I plan on doing so here soon, because I also love reel magic, but don't like paying their ridiculous price for it. Quote
