Air Dry
Waxed solution added to unwaxed polyester and vinyl ester resins and gelcoats to achieve a tack-free surface suitable for sanding. Commonly used in final coat, 3% by volume.
Release Wax
Excellent release
characteristics
are achieved when used
with PVA. We recommend that new moulds are coated with four layers
before use. Apply two coats of wax, buff off the excess, and allow
to stand for an hour before applying the last two coats to give
solvents extra time to evaporate so a tougher wax barrier develops.
Available in Honey Wax 14oz or Mirror Glaze 11oz.
