Preventing Toe Cracking

This is a non-normal use for Maskote, whereby using Maskote before galvanizing to paint a welded area where thinner material is welded to thicker material [which is where toe cracks appear only after galvanizing] prevents toe cracks.

Glass Industry

Art Glass Slumping/Drape-Forming
  • BN Aerosol Lubricoat
    Solvent-based and the most popular (also sometimes referred to as ZYP Mold Release Spray)
  • BN Glass Release Spray
    A water-based BN paint in a pump spray bottle as an alternative to our flammable solvent-based aerosol BN Aerosol Lubricoat.  Must re-suspend before use since there is settling with this product. Sprayer must be kept clean. Here are the instructions.
  • BN Glass Release Brushable
    Brushable water-based paint alternative to the BN Aerosol Lubricoat.  Must re-suspend before use.
  • Glass Release Thinner
    For thinning the water-based BN Glass Release Spray or the water-based BN Glass Release Brushable
