Hi,

I'm just trying it now and the gel coat is fisheye-ing like crazy. It just refuses to stay put. I've let it start to cure a bit and brushed some more but it's not going to work so when it hardens I'm going to put a layer of glass on it with the epoxy then once cured, pop it out and start again.

I used 4 applications of easylease, let each dry etc then left 2 hours before putting the gel on to it.

Hi Mike,

It sounds like it's being too repellent. We have this problem sometimes with our flat sheet production when we first easy-lease the glass tables. We get problems with fish-eyes for the first few release and then it settles down really nicely for lots of release (maybe 30+ releases) before it starts to get a bit too sticky and we have to re-coat the tables - cue fish-eyes again until we've had a few releases off it.

Try giving the mould surface a really good buff with a microfibre cloth just to take the edge of the release agent; this will probably help a lot (we do it).
