The following release agents (nos. 1-4) are high class products designed specifically for use in the GRP industry. They may all (except No. 4) be applied by wiping on with a lint free cloth, but the best and most economical results will always be obtained by application with a low output low pressure spray gun. It is essential to apply No. 4 release agent by spray to obtain the matt finish. Mould Release Universal Agent No 1 A rapid drying molecular type release agent with excellent release properties. Suitable for polyester or epoxy mouldings even from an irregular surface, and particularly suitable for moulding from plaster as it is waterproof.
