Hi guys!

I need a bit of help from you in order to be able to do something worth showing here jejej.

Well, the thing is that I have a perfect piece as a mould but is made out of wood. Is there any problem of using the chemical easy release product or should I first coat the piece of wood with something?

Thank you very much in advance

In my early composites days I have done it several times without coating, but with a wax type release agent. It worked (not that great, but it did the job) with polyester molds, but I guess it will not with epoxy tooling resins, as epoxy has much better bonding propertys.

Nowadays  I would always use a light clearcoat, before tooling.

Thanks for your answer Oekmon,

Which clear coat do you suggest? Polyurethane?

Polyurethane would be my choice. But as long as it is 2k it will be fine.

Do you mean the fabric type by 2k?

No, sorry. I meant 2 component lacquer. I didn't translate that.
