Also i just noticed you are using polyester mold with your epoxy part. Then you need to pay extra attention to surface preparation. The first part i ever made was a carbon/epoxy part made in a polyester mold. Thats not the better idea ever, however, waxing my mold 12 times (maybe a bit overdone héhé) lead to decent release properties. I had to use a little of pressurised air persuasion, but mold had many tight curves. Also, I heared that polyester mold would shrink a bit with time going by.

As most people here would say, always use compatible products to work with. Epoxy mold for epoxy parts, polyester molds for polyester parts. You can also find "multi purpose" products, that will work with epoxy, polyester and vinylester. On EC website, they have this.

Cheers from Belgium.
