hi all.

i recently made my first rc boat mould using the unimould system.   i used pva for the bottom part of the plug. and easylease and pva for the top half.

these came out fairly well. but not as smooth finich as i hoped.   so hours of wetsanding and buffing later..

i put on 7 layers of easy lease.  eg60 transparent gelcoat 2 layers as even as i could with brush.  2x 200 glass 1 carbon (240 or zo i believ) and another 2x 200 glass. for the deck half.    in the sharp corners i made a fillit of epoxy and thixotr...between the gelcoat and the glass to have the sharp corners evened out.   so far so good.   al went in super smooth.  

30 hours later.   i wanted to pull the part.....

i allmost thought i would break my mould.   the edges with the fillit where so stuck!. 

now i think i put the release agent on and buffed to hard.

heres question 1.    i cleaned the mould. put the easy lease on thicker.   didnt buff at all.       and i read i can wax it.     now before i want anything on top of the easy lease.   what do i do when i pull it.   do i need to clean it completely and stard over with the easylease. or can i just remove the wax and doe 1 or 2 new coats of easy on it.
