Fiberglass (A/Asia) Sales Pty PVA Blue

Fiberglass (A/Asia) Sales Pty PVA Blue is a mold release agent intended for use on plugs and molds as an additional aid for release in conjunction with mold release waxes. Plastrene PVA No.5 Blue must not be applied to any surface that contains moisture or is sensitive to alcohol and water. The surface of the mold must be free of dust and should have been cleaned with mineral spirits or styrene to remove any traces of silicone based release agents. Plastrene PVA No.5 Blue may be applied by spray or hand application. For best results apply a mist coat first and then follow up with a heavier coat. The ultimate objective is to create a thin even film. Normal dry times are in the range of 15-30 minutes. The film should be dry to the touch before progressing.
