Hello Guys & Easy Composites Team,

I have used wrongly the Hi-Gloss Pattern Coat for my mould instead of the Polyester Gelcoat GC50. Crying

First I prepared the mould with 3 layers of wax (soft hand polishing) and one layer of PVA.
Than I put a thicker layer of HI-Gloss with a brush onto it.

I wanted to do a carbon fibre hand laminate after curing.
Does it makes sense now or do I have destroyed my mould with the wrong coat now?
What happens if I continue with the hand laminate now?
Does the mould will separate from the hand laminate or the hi-gloss coat?

Thanks a lot for your help and support in advance.

The release worked well. I'm happy with the first try. Even if the part is not that good. Too many air bubbles Sad
I will now do another part using the GC50. Already sprayed with a 1.4mm nozzle gun. It worked well.

Now I'm going to work with carbon strips instead of using a whole cloth. It was very difficult to apply and put it without any bubbles into the mould.
The part is too complex for it. I think it's a form where Prepreg works much better but for me it´s not an option at the moment.
Thanks guys Wink
