Good morning. I have created a plaster mold of a face and I want to put carbon fiber on top of the mold/face and be able to remove it once the carbon fiber has dried out. What product do I use to ensure that the Carbon Fiber will release from the plaster face/mold? Which Carbon Fiber Starter Kit do you recommend I use? The face is about 1 meter high, 1/2 a matter in width and about 30 Centimeters in depth from tip of nose to ear. Thank you very much for the help and advice.

If the mould surface is of a good finish then I would look at the Carbon Fibre Laminating Starter Kit as that is designed for laminating carbon into a mould.  Skinning is usually a single layer process where as for a simple facemask you would probably want 2 layers for it to have a reasonable level of stiffness.

You would not need vacuum for this work and also it is fine to cure at room temperature.
