Can I use Milky Way brand molds for CP or HP?

Thanks ladies!

I use my MW molds all the time for CP & HP without any problems as long as I have used mineral oil to oil the mould. Never really had a problem.

Is there anything that can be used besides mineral oil? I have 10+ year old milky way molds never been used. So now I have a burr in my britches to try them today. Not sure I can find any mineral oil in this (VERY) small town on a Sunday. No pharmacy open and even if the grocery has it, the price would be prohibitive. Isn't baby oil the same chemical? Could I use petroleum jelly?

Yes, you could use baby oil. You could use petroleum jelly but it's so thick I think it would be a pain to wipe out the mold. But I suppose this would depend on how detailed the cavities are and how frenzied you are to make a batch.
