Hi all,

I'm making some very simple surfaces  to use as plugs. The problem is that it will take considerable time to get the surface finish up to a high gloss.

Could you tell me if plastic wrapping (ie vinyl or similar) the surface would be suitable solution? 

I will be using Easylease as a release agent, and my moulds will probably have a vinylester gelcoat.

Many thanks,
Adam

Thanks Warren, I'll try just that.



No problem. Its a method I use quite a lot for pulling moulds from existing parts if I am unsure of the material/surface type. The last thing you want is a "sticker" and a damaged/destroyed original.
I use 3M 77, just a light misting is all that's needed to hold the bagging film in place.
Let us know how you get on Smile
