Hi,

Could anyone recommend a good, easily available In Mould Clear coating? and one that is compatible with the EL2 and IN2 resins from EC.

I have found a 2k polyurethane product from HP-Textiles ( http://www.hp-textiles.com/shop/product_info.php?info=p770_750g-in-mould-coating---hp-imc-.html Wink, but they are based in Germany and I would prefer a UK based supplier(perhaps EC could add this product? :-) )

Many Thanks

Yes, you can overcome any fish-eye problems by using PVA but then you have PVA problems - i.e. your parts will have a dull matt finish which will need to be polished off and can sometimes actually take quite a bit of polishing (not just a quick buff). I guess because we come from a commercial manufacturing stand point we always look for processes that reduce labour and so chemical release agents which leave a mirror finish gloss straight out of the mould are preferable to processes that require subsequent work.

I'll let you know when the gel coat is in.

Best regards, Matt
