- The best release agent we've found is called PVA (Poly Vinyl Acetate?).
- It is a greenish water soluble liquid available wherever fiberglass
- supplies are sold. Another, very good, release agent is Maguires(sp)
- Mold Release Wax. This is a high quality carnuba paste wax specially
- formulated for pattern and mold making. It is available from most of
- the fiberglass supply companys. If you need the address of one of the
- companies, E-mail me and I'll get it for you tomorrow.
