As you are mostly using IN2. you can post cure the pattern using the IN2 post cure from the TDS.

In essence you can then allow the mould to cure for 24 hours before following the post cure cycle with the pattern still in the mould.

In reality, with the low temperatures and relatively slow 10C steps, It is unllikely you would have any distortion or sagging from the mould softening and likewise there are unlikely to be any CTE issues between the slightly different materials, so in practice you could do it either way without any issues.

S120 is primarily designed as a board sealer, so the surface would already need to be smooth for it to work without using too many layers.  As the surface is already Pattern Coat Primer, you can polish up the Primer and apply release agent directly to it, so no real need for board sealer.
