Some of you will have followed my builds and complaints of building, in my case in Spain, models abroad, from not having build materials on the 'doorstep' down to having parcels go mysteriously missing between the sender and arrival at the local post office.
The latest can be seen in the photo's. After locating a paint shop in travelling distance that does stock grp products (another story altogether) I purchased a couple weeks back some silicone free wax polish - it even said that on the can - Sin Silicona in the local lingo. With the weather being far too hot to actually lay up any grp I made do with polishing the mould several times.
This week the temperatures are cooling (back into the low 30's
) I decided if I got up at 6am it gave me enough time to do a gel coat, leave it and then next morning do the actual lay up in the coolness of the morning, after 9am it definitely a no go. So this morning out with the spray gun and compressor and spray a mist coat of pva release agent onto the mould, go back 30 minutes later and spray a heavy coat, then leave alone to dry.
Anyway the photo's speak for themselves, can you say silicone in the wax polish?
You can see in one of the photo's where I have been washing off the release agent before getting going to remove the polish and silicone. I knew this was going to be a long build but I cannot catch a break whatsover.
