Tried another product, too, called DRI by State with an industrial-only availability (had this can for a few years). It is a 4-way moisture displacement product, useful for lots of things. It smelled better than the Kroil, is about the only difference in function when I applied it to the mold.
Anybody else tried these or other products as mold protectant/release agents?
How about on aluminum molds?
