I have a mould that i cleaned with the mould cleaner. Then I applyed easy lease, apx 7 coats.
i used a brush to apply the G50 gelcoat. I could not get a even coat, because i got holes in the coat. Looked like the mould had been contaminated by chemicals, but iam shure it isnt. The gelcoat cured for a couple of hours before i took i of. Iam cleaning again with the mould cleaner but it dont seem to evaporise like it i remember it does. It still look like the mould is contaminated.
Any ideas?

I did a new try. Cleaned the mold with the EC mouldcleaner. Then three coats of easy lease and then three coats of megauliars mould wax nr. 8.
Same thing happend. lots of holes in the gel coat.
Does the mould cleaner remove the easylease?
