I have recently purchased the 1mm Sheet Wax and every time I try to produce a mould using this product it comes out with pinholes and surface imperfections as seen in the photo below, (I do make sure not to cause any damage, or unnecessary holes when laying it), plus, the wax is sticky and hard to remove. Any idea as to why? 

I have been using Tooling Gelcoat and Polyester Resin for Fiberglass Reinforcement.

I have also been following the proper steps as seen in the video.

Yes, I am using it to cover up a part, just found it to be easier using the wax sheet other than having to paint the original part and so on. 

Thanks again for all the help, was just looking for a quicker way to be able to make the plug and the mold. I love the idea of the Sheet Wax, I am just trying to get the best surface finish. 

Thanks!
