Hi, has any one used wax sheet when making molds e.g. making a cover for a part. 

after applying wax sheet to the part I applies some wax release hoping after several wax applications and polishing i will apply PVA but for some wired reason the wax reacted with the sheet and caused it to become sticky and gummy which ended up messing the smooth texture of the wax sheet Sad, has anyone had this experience and how did they overcome this issue, lastly maybe my work flow was flawed in a way and it will be great if you could point me in the right direction and share the correct steps you follow leading to a perfect mold.

Hi,

Here is what I did when I had to work with wax sheet:

Once the sheet was applied, I covered it with aluminium tape. Its very thin, and with meticulous placement (aka avoiding overlaps) you'll have minimal sanding work to do on your mold once you're done.

Hope it helps.
