Topic: Heater block silicone cover mold

I have downloaded the mold for the heater blocks on my printer.
My question is what do i use for a mold release. I will be using High temp silicone in the mold.
I know in the past I have used Pam cooking spray when working with epoxy but will it work with silicone.

Thanks
Dale

the guide sheet states do not spray directly on plastic what  is your mold made of.
