I've never had a problem with it causing the dye to blotch. It will however, put a slight gloss on your first few castings. Most of the molds I work with don't need any release. I only use it if I find that the flashing is sticking. What are you using as a release? Have you tried casting without it? Maybe you don't even need it. And what kind or resin are you pouring? I've never seen any evidence of talc leaving a white dust appearance on anything I've cast. I don't know what happens to it, but it's never been visible. It must mix into the resin to some degree. Try a test casting on one of your pieces. Let me know what happens!
