Greetings to all

I've been playing around with resin infusion and have a very simple mould with a bend that works well.
What I would like to know is what material can I use that's got a high gloss finish that's cheap and either disposable or reusable to lay into the mould
and do the layup on top so I don't need to wax the mould and can peel the material off the mould and fibreglass,

Hope that makes sense....

Thanks in advance

depending on the geometry i would say a PP or PE sheet, or teflon adhesive film. The latter will not result in a mirror finish tho.
