Release agent on Uni Mould system.

Hi all

I am currently producing a mould using the Uni Mould system (gel coat, coupling coat, tooling resin) for a project eventually using wet layup carbon.

My question is regarding the release agent on the Uni Mould gel coat when I produce the carbon part, could I use a release agent such as Frekote NC 700 for releasing purposes? Would this be ok on the Uni Mould gel coat?

Only reason I ask is that I have Frekote NC 700 ready to hand.

Many thanks.

That's because Easy-lease is a 2-in-1 system, so you don't need a separate sealer system. 

It is in fact optional though, I often don't apply a sealer. They increase the film durability, so you will get more releases with each application and a better service life from your mould. But you will still get many releases without a sealer.
