I only wash the new ones "fresh out of the shrink wrap" or if I have a problem that is obviously oil etc . Otherwise the residue seems to flash off or be of no influence.
Yes I go straight to heat cycle . This is because the one time I didn't wash and heat cycle I fought the mould for almost as long as the brass MP before I successfully got a full load out of it . Today it is still the second least satisfying mould to use I own right behind the Lee 00B and .690 RB moulds .
None of this matters with the moulds wrapped in VCI so far .
