Most of that shape should pop out easily, just take care there isn't any mild "mechanical locking" on the part edges or the vent slots. That can make things a bit more difficult. No reason why you can't also use mould release wax. We recommend the minimum use of spray adhesive as possible as it can leave marks on the surface. The more you use, the worse the surface finish will be so a very light dusting is all we recommend if you use it. Warren Penalver Easy Composites / Carbon Mods - Technical Support Assistant

Prior to my purchase of this wax directly from Stoner, I called Stoner to get details on how to apply it. Their recommendation is a little different from the Easy Composites description of how to apply it. The recommendation from Stoner was to apply each coat to a small area (if the part is large), immediately wipe off, then wait 60 minutes prior to applying each additional coat. This allows the solvent to flash off. They recommended seven coats of wax and one additional coat of wax after each part is pulled off the mold.

Definitely stuck, not mechanical lock cos I had to slide in plastic spatula to lift it up from mould.

Hope it will clean off and then polishing will help.
