Many interesting suggestions. One that has worked for me is using a can
of "dry" lubricant. The type I used, can't remember the brand, goes on leaving a tightly adhered powdery look. Several coatings were made after the solvent flashed of each time. This stuff is designed for surfaces that cannot tolerate oil that might attract dirt. I have used this product to prevent sticking on both fiberglass lay-ups and epoxy and silicone rubber castings. Another product that I have used in a pinch is a product similar to LPS3. It sprays on and leaves a thin waxy film (like paraffin) with no contamination to the part. I think this stuff was originally intended to protect guns in storage, leaving a dry non-smeary surface when the guns were handled. wrote: i planning on building a few fiberglass pieces from a mold this weekend but don't have time to order a release agent. From looking at the internet, most release agents are wax based products. Can I just use paste wax for the mold? Any other suggestions? Thanks Dave -- Bruce A.
