The problem is that it will take considerable time to get the surface finish up to a high gloss. Could you tell me if plastic wrapping (ie vinyl or similar) the surface would be suitable solution? I will be using Easylease as a release agent, and my moulds will probably have a vinylester gelcoat. Many thanks, Adam

Its a method I use quite a lot for pulling moulds from existing parts if I am unsure of the material/surface type. The last thing you want is a "sticker" and a damaged/destroyed original. I use 3M 77, just a light misting is all that's needed to hold the bagging film in place. Let us know how you get on Warren Carbon Copies Ltd
