1 cavity of a 4 cav brass Mp mold sticking

I live in the state of Washington and there isn't any Pep Boy's out here.Does any auto parts store in Washington carry L504?

Yes ...it's just the plain old Liquid Wrench Dry Lube , any auto supply and wally mart should sell it.
I have a sneaking suspicion any teflon based dry lube would work just fine.
The #504 is the liquid in a 4 oz. bottle ....spray works too it's just a bit wasteful .

Just a note of caution about PTFE. I don't remember the exact temp, I think we are well below it casting, but overheat PTFE and it gives off some nasty chemicals. If the guys here have been using it for a while it should be OK, but like the tinsel fairy it shows up even when you know how to keep it from happening.

It becomes less effective around 500F and gives off a gas around 650F. Reports are that the gas causes flu-like symptoms with no long term effect. There have been few reported cases, all related to significantly overheating teflon coated pans which I think have a lot more teflon than what we’re talking about.

My warning for use with molds is related to reapplication when hot, I wouldn’t do it because I don’t know if it might cause the alcohol to flash off, alcohols flash point is 65F. A small flash isn’t a big deal, but having the bottle cook off in your hand would leave a mark. You can reapply synthetic oil for the pivot without risk of this.

I had to order mine from Grainger, our local pep boys didn’t carry it

I, too, ordered mine from Graingers. It's $1.31 per bottle, but I'm still waiting for it, and beginning to think it is unobtainium!
