It's not always one or the other.

I use semi permenant release agents on all my moulds including the ones I want to use wax with. Semi perm and then wax on top too.

Thanks!
Why you add wax on top of semi permanent?

The semi permenant gives the mould a safer release and the wax allows you to spray gel coats on to the surface as well as making for a better gloss mould finish. I use this on moulds requiring wet resin layup and I use only semi permenant when working with pre preg and oven cure cooking.

Hi,
what are the scenarios where is better to use a semi permanent release agent and the ones where is better a wax?

I use wax for surfaces that have some level of porosity (like body filler) and surfaces that are not resistant to solvents. Usually permanent releases for everything else even tho we started using formula five wax for more and more things to reduce exposure to solvents. 

Thank you
