So Iv had 3 moulds stick on me now. I'm using tr108 wax as it's advertised to reduce fish eye when gel coat goes into the mould.

I have tried exact instructions on tin 8 coats and then leave over night before another coat.

Also tried 5 chem release followed by 2 tr108 wax.

I brush in polyester gel coat let dry. Lay up and  infuse with epoxy In2 resin and cure in mould at 60deg straight away for about 8 hours so it gels fast in the event of a leak.

The shiney parts of the mould released just about but everywhere else stuck like s***!

But should I be laying in a layer of fibreglass and pulling that out once cured to break in mould first?

Any help appreciated.
