USES

a liquid wax release for use on all FRP tooling, metal, and other hard surface molds.

  • Open mold hand or spray lay up
  • Resin transfer/injection (RTM) & (RIM)
  • Vacuum bag and compression molding
  • Polyester, epoxy & urethane resins
APPLICATION

Apply by either wipe or spray method. For wiping, saturate a soft cotton cloth and apply an even uniform coat. Allow the wax release to dry to a haze (approx. 5-10min) and then polish with soft toweling. When spraying use 35-50psi air pressure to produce a fine mist and deposit a uniform slightly wet film avoiding excess flooding. Wipe with soft cotton cloth when wax film dries to haze.

NOTE: : Some soft settling may occur over time. Recommend shaking, agitating or mixing before use if allowed to stand for extended period of time ensuring adequate wax film thickness on mold.
