Hi,

I need to make a male plug to make epoxy parts from without a mould as it's the inside face that needs to have the finish. Can I finish this plug using the ec pattern coat resin and then use epoxy gel coat and resin to make part or will I release issues as the pattern coat is polyester based?

Thanks
Craig

Yeh I think you will be sweet mate. The wax actually raises the surfaces tension and makes release harder, but I don't think you will have any issues with sticking.
