OK.. Long story but I have to get a wet lay mould made from a section of an mould which has some surface issues and I want a good finish. Would a 2K lacquer work or do I really need to use duralbuild?

It is some damage in a mould which I have put some gel coat down into but there is still some small surface issues I just need to fill and polish back.. I am just going to make a master from it then re-make the mould complete anyway so just need to get one pull from it then I can finish off the surface more on the master.

2k high build primer works well. Fills the imperfections well and can be easily polished to a gloss. The contrasting colour also makes it easier to see the repair compared to clear. Just make sure it's fully cured, bake it if you can before pulling the master. Can be applied by brush if it's only a small area and not worth setting up the spray gun.

Cool... I think I will have a look at doing that then.... would speed it up a little/lot... Cheers...
