I have a part I've covered in aluminium tape, filleted using clay and the flange is also aluminium.

Do I need to release this at all?

Never done a plug that way but I would say yes you need release agent. Even if the clay has been polished it will be porous and epoxy resin bonds really well to ally, not sure about polyester though. Better safe than sorry Smile
