I am having finish issues on my pattern and mould when using Unimold gelcoat. The first time the part was finished in clear lacquer form Halfords. The part was easy leased and then waxed 8 times. When de-moulded the finish on the part had alligatored leaving a poor quality mould. The second time had 2k lacquer finish, again easy lease and wax with the same result.

My question is can I use your epoxy tooling gelcoat for this half of my mould? (the first half has been repaired extensively from alligatoring) - I am looking at the "green stuff" you have. Also, what finish do you suggest for my part?

Thanks in advance.

its a guitar body - or rather the top of the body (the lower part is the other half of the mould) I intend to lay carbon fibre, reinforcement and vacuum using epoxy resin - no pre-preg or ovens will be used.
