Sick of using wax and pva after seeing how good easylease works. Thanks guys 👍

You'll lilely have a bit of trouble if you try to use it to wetlay moulds - not that I'm recommending against this, I do it all the time and it is far superior, but its slip level can catch you out. Yeah awesome, if i were to wet lay up or something id test it first bit if anything just use the wax and pva for that type of lay ups

System works for me Are you thinking of the Zyvax Flex-Z system? Fantastic product, was really my favourite release agent. Unfortunately Polynt were the only ones distributing it here, and they got bought out and now we can't get it anymore. Should really check back in with Chemlease and see if anyone has picked up the contract yet, it was so good. And yeh, when you're spraying gelcoat you can generally go with a higher slip release agent. Brushing it on lowers the viscosity and makes it open up more. Still have to be careful with pre-release though. With the Zyvax Z1.0 you don't have any pre-release issues.

When using inmould gelcoat i just need to be careful when applying firts layer of CF with spray glue (no to pull gealcoat of if i reposotion cloth). I went with 6.0 as i had some release issues in the past (not with Chemtrend products). Parts pop out really good
