You spray it directly into the mould and then proceed with normal layup. HP-Textiles in Germany sells it. http://www.hp-textiles.com/shop/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=hp-imc-0000&XTCsid=7b9829cd7e1246659e3de7842e10dd3c cheers Hi, It looks ok for me, I can probably import it on my own but I'll find some similar product here in poland Thanks Wojtek from Poland ~~~Everytime I hear sound of demoulding part I have eargasm~~~

I have heard that Marineware in conjunction with a boat builders on the south coast of GB have successfully developed a way of clearcoating the entire boat hull prior to layup so it is possible. I'm 98% sure they use Durepox. Apparently when it de-moulds it literally booms like a cannon and sends static sparks around like inside a plasma ball, 50m+ boat demould... nice...

I was wondering, can I spray clear coat on mould after puting release agent, after laquer I would put normal layup. Will the clear coat release? Will it bond to polyester or rather epoxy? I've talked to Mathieu and he said that it would be ok put first layer should be thin and after it doesn't matter. Thanks for taking your time Wojtek from Poland ~~~Everytime I hear sound of demoulding part I have eargasm~~~ Edited 12 Years Ago by wojtepanik
