Hi,

I made my mould using the unimold system starting with black tooling gel coat, after polishing the mould I applied 5 coats of easy-lease.

I thought I should test a small amount of the gel coat I intend to use on the mould first (e c fibreglass polyester) info here

I'm glad i did the test because it won't release at all. I also mixed up a small amount of Easy composites general laminating polyester resin to test on the mould,
this released fine!

is there any reason why the EC Fibreglass polyester gel coat wouldn't work?
