The semi permenant gives the mould a safer release and the wax allows you to spray gel coats on to the surface as well as making for a better gloss mould finish. I use this on moulds requiring wet resin layup and I use only semi permenant when working with pre preg and oven cure cooking. Fastacraft Facebook page Edited 5 Years Ago by Fasta
