One coat of carnauba wax on the mold is not enough. If we all want a chance to use this cowling mold then some care will have to be taken with it. If not then at some time a small place in the mold is going to stick to the part and the mold will be damaged seperating the parts.
First make sure that the cowling mold is very clean. Then apply at least 5 coats of carnauba wax. Make sure that it is a silicon free product! Then apply 2 or 3 coats of PVA There is some good info here; http://www.fiberlay.com/howto/issue1.htm#2 http://www.fiber-tek.com/Bulletins/fiberglass_part.htm I have tons of good info at home on this subject, but finding good basic info on the internet has not been easy this morning. Just make sure that the mold is clean, well waxed with silicon free carnauba ( at least 5 coats) and that 2 or 3 coats of PVA is evenly applied. And please make sure that there is no silicon in any of the products that you use. That could really muck things up. Denny ...
