For anyone worried about possible negative effects from dishwashing liquid on wax foundation, there are a wide variety of chemicals called "surfactants", and/or "release agents", many which are approved as "food grade" by the US Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA", not to be confused with the "FBI" or "CIA"). My wife uses a "pan spray" as a release agent when she molds chocolates with complex details. A "pan spray" is a mix of cooking oil and Lecithin, the most commonly-known one being "Pam". Yeah, she makes fancy chocolates. I am, of course, burdened with responsibility for quality control testing. Life is good. jim :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
