As soon as you try and polish the wax smooth it comes straight off. PVA again also doesn't stick well and becomes a nightmare of chasing the fisheyes! If you are not worried about super high gloss or a perfect cosmetic finish then polypropelene sheet is great as epoxy won't stick to it and all you have to do to release the carbon is flex the sheet slightly. To be fair, when brand new the polypropelene sheet has a perfect surface anyway with very high gloss. However it quickly picks up scratches and dulls compared to glass.
