Generally it should be safe as long as the hydrocal is dry enough. I would dry the mold for maybe half an hour at less than 212 F (time really would depend on thickness of the hydrocal).
As soon as you go above the boiling point of water you want to make sure that there isn't too much water in the hydrocal, since boiling water can exert quite some pressure and lead to cracking.
If the hydrocal is dry enough temperatures of 300For so aren't a problem otherwise.
