Hi there

If you are at room temperature a few days will do it.

Just a suggestion from years of experience, do your self a favor and use EasyLease instead of the wax PVA route as a release agent.

Wax and PVA still have their place but its just so barbaric compared to the new chemical release agents.

I wonder what I have been doing all these years with wax and PVA.

My opinion!

Yes it will, you need to get the styrene out of the mould and by applying heat you will smell the styrene meaning it is being removed from the mould

I'm currently making CF copies of my bike fairings. I use wax and pva for making first mould from the originals that I need to put back on the bike...
it make me feel safer than just chem lease agents, I really need the piece not to breack or loose paint. Does it make sense?

I then use the chem lease for making the part from the mould. Chem lease agent is much simpler and faster than wax and pva!!

Used the EasyLease and...wow...that stuff is very slippy indeed!

Hi, I use Easy Lease and GC50 all the time. I have found that the only way to lay it down successfully is to spray it. I bought the the EC Gel Coat Gun.

If that's the case than the description of being brush-able is somehow misleading

Don't get me wrong you can apply it with a brush ( as described ) but I find you get a far better result if spray application is used. You just have to very gentle and use a very soft brush in continuous strokes. The technique does require practice I'm afraid. 

I have used easylease and another product called Chemlease. They seem to behave the same. I shoot clear coat in my molds the night before I infuse. The problem is the beading up because the surface is so slick. (by the way easylease is awesome and I wouldn't be without it)

One trick is to apply wax over the chemical release to make the surface a little more active, perhaps 3 coats of wax. Now you have the superior protection of the easylease and the greater tack of the wax. When you brush keep going over it until it lays down in one layer without beading and then stop. I have actually done this on a fairly large mold with clearcoat using a wide art painters brush. I kept brushing untill it no longer beaded. (it was gelling) That was on a surface of chemlease release agent.

 My opinion.

Hope this helps
