No release problems at all. Generally I'll use easy lease with a layer or two of wax on top

Group: Forum Members Posts: 54, Visits: 916	Ok i know which way im going with this now Another question, whats the best spray adhesive that is ok to use with epoxy? and won't dissolve my release agent? The mould is quite deep and has tight curves so want something to hold fabric in place

Group: Forum Members Posts: 54, Visits: 916	Is it possible to resin infuse with an envelope bag? Any improvements i can make to the mould before i make a new one with 4 in a line? Another question...is pre preg an option? i feel that would be a lot quicker and easier? thanks for all the input guys

The easy way to make more parts to one mould would be to make say 5 with glass and polyester resin, then make a new mould. You could also envelope bag it so you don't have to do the pleats, however with practice, they take very little time, especially if you do it with one piece of gum tape instead of the folding over method shown in some videos Edited 11 Years Ago by ajb100

Any one used this? https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/vacuum-bagging/elastifilm-super-stretchy-vacuum-bagging-film.aspx Also got any advice on making multiple moulds all next to each other with only 1 pattern? Thanks
