Hello,

I am using a plug that is sealed with 2k primer and 6 coats of easy lease release agent.

I applied a coat of easy composites high temp gel coat and let cure for 1.5 hours. Came back and it's no longer tacky...
The sun had moved and heated the molds. Should I be concerned applying the second layer of gel coat in fear of delamination between gel coat layers. Reinforcement is el160 high temp epoxy with 2 100gsm and 3 450gsm fiberglass layers.

These are extremely low production molds. 1 pull for most 2 for very few. Will post cure the molds and then pull off them as easy composites reccomends. I will get back with you hopefully in a week or two with positive results.
