Mold release

Here is the finished part with paint.

Thanks for all the help guys!

It popped right out with no problems.

I did a wash down with rubbing alcohol and then did a quick wet sand with 400 paper. The primer went on perfectly. AND no pin holes. YIPEE!

Next time you make a part wash with water first, nothing else takes off the pva. When you wet sanded it that did take it off.

Nice job, does the gal come with it?

Hey Phil,

It takes me about 3 days to lay a part up because I can only do 2 plys at a time. Once that layer cures, I then sand and lay two more plys. If I try to lay more than 2 plys of 1.5oz cloth at one time I have problems with air bubbles forming around the complex curves. Is this normal, or is there a better way... Save buying a vacuum bag setup?

I have been laying up cowls with some good tight curves (using fiberglass and C.F.) for about two years now. I only have one thing to say when it comes to release PVA! NEVER had a problem.
