Unless you got a lot of curvature, plastic 2" wide packing tape works great.
Or just enclose it in thin sheet plastic so that there are no creases. wrote in message news:ij2Hc.40976$a24.17578@attbi_s03... 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 |

I've always wondered if small plugs could be covered with heat shrink plastic like used at Blockbusters on video tapes. Would sure get the wrinkles out. Richard |
