Hii guys,

I have working with carbon fibre parts over than a years but I've still strugle to have a shinny mould and also the parts, I mean after demoulds.  I never buffing the wax when  make a mould or parts (leave swirl), to emerge the shine surface because based on my experience "shine surface" would be hard to demould. My mould is made from epoxy gel coat, and the process is resin infusion using epoxy resin. 

Soo, how to apply meguiars no 8 to get a slippy demoulds process and shinny composites parts?

Regards

Leon

This is how I wax my molds. I use 3 pieces of cloth. The 1st for applying the wax around the mold. Then with the 2nd I rub it until most of it has been removed and with the 3rd I rub it until it's glossy. I repeat the whole process 3-4 times.

Hii NikCFC,

According to your steps, Is the part easily to de-mould ? and shiny? or it will take a  little bit sticking? 

Thanks
