The only mention I found in Susan Kingsley's book of "intensifiers" suggested their use between the male and female dies, which still requires making the male epoxy die from the female die, correct? Which means I'm back to the same old problem of the dies sticking together.
Maybe we're not speaking of the same "intensifiers".
