Hi,
Please see pics below of the mould and the part after infusion.
The mould has been applied 6 passes of easylease, 1 pass of wax and 1 mist of pva before laying fabrics.
All the timing between passes has been respected, and pva was left overnight to dry.
Composite spray glue from ec has been used to keep the fabric in place.
When it came to extract the part, some small areas detached as they should fine but the majority had the gelcoat stuck on it, as visible in the pic.
I was afraid of a long sanding job but tried first with a chisel and small strokes and with much relief chips by chips all the stuck gelcoat came away with leaving a glossy part surface.
My questions is:
- what could be the reasons why the gelcoat was so adhered (I use adhered and not bonded because with some mechanical force the gelcoat separated) to the part? 

Yeh I feel like testing the silicone is a bit backwards. This is much less likely to be the issue than the overcoat window. Do a test with getting the overcoat window right and then go from there.
