I thought I should test a small amount of the gel coat I intend to use on the mould first (e c fibreglass polyester) info here I'm glad i did the test because it won't release at all. I also mixed up a small amount of Easy composites general laminating polyester resin to test on the mould, this released fine! is there any reason why the EC Fibreglass polyester gel coat wouldn't work?

Worst case use PVA for the first couple of releases until things settle down. Warren Penalver Easy Composites / Carbon Mods - Technical Support Assistant
