Anyone tried this before?  Have a look for: EZ~Spray® Silicone 20
For those of us making multiple parts, it looks really good...

Would be good to hear of anyone using it, and if EC would recommend it?

I'm doing a test of this stuff combined with a polystyrene plug that I'm going to dissolve with acetone. I got a thin spot on this first try where I made the plug a bit too large, if this one doesn't work I'll try again with a smaller plug.

Even when I get one to hold a goal pressure of 60 psi inside my mold, I'm still concerned about getting the bladder out after carbon layup and cure.
