An apparatus for distributing a soap based release agent upon a surface comprising; a means for metering a controlled quantity of a liquid metallic soap into a pressurized water stream to form a pressurized aqueous solution having a controlled dilution ratio of soap to water, at least one manifold connected to receive the pressurized aqueous solution, and a plurality of nozzles mounted upon the manifold to uniformly distribute the pressurized liquid solution upon at least one surface. The surface may further be defined as a planar surface, moving unidirectional along a fixed path at a predetermined variable speed and defined by a surface area of length multiplied by width. The planar surface has a fixed width, wherein the surface area moving past a fixed point for a predetermined period of time is a function of the speed of the planar surface moving past the fixed point. At least one regulating means regulates the dilution ratio of the soap to water by controlling the quantity of the metallic soap metered into the pressurized water stream. This quantity of metallic soap is correlative with the speed of the planar surface, so as to maintain a relatively constant measure of metallic soap per unit of surface area as the speed of the planar surface is increased or decreased.
