Hi guys,
I'm a bit confused regarding all those release agents. Do I have to buy all of them:
- PVA
- Number 8 Wax
- Easy-Lease Chemical release
or one of them would do?
The surface on which I'm going to do a vacuum infusion would be one of these:
- Polypropylene sheet
- Polycarbonate sheet
- PVC sheet
- Plexiglass (perspex) sheet
It would be nice if Matt (staff) or someone else who works at EC could explain a bit more about those release agents and the materials I want to use them on.
Thank you

Hi Matt,
thank you very much for thorough explanation of each release agent. So it seems that I will be ordering Easy-Lease.
Could you confirm that it will work ok with one of the mould surfaces below?
- Polypropylene sheet
- Polycarbonate sheet
- PVC sheet
- Plexiglass (perspex) sheet
I'm I right thinking that the first 2 materials would be the best followed by PVC and then perspex? Which would you choose personally?
I really appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Mani
