However it had slipped my mind that quite a while ago paul told me that it is very hostile to the resin in a sense that it causes it to run off and pool. I was making a mold and on the highly recessed areas, the gelcoat was super thin.. so thin it broke through in parts when it was done. when making moulds I will stick to pva, or apply a very light coat of epoxy gelcoat and then subsequent layers of gelcoat on that before applying reinforcement. cheers

I always felt that PVA could not be polished so it would leave inprints on the mold, thats why i dont use that. I dont say thats the right way to proceed, but I never had a problem.
