tin foil bro........cover the whole thing in tin foil before you lay your FG/CF, then afterwards just pop it free and the foil will mostly peel off the glass exept for a few stubborn spots. i did it in my trunk to make a custom sub enclosure and it didnt ruin the carpet peices that i used to form it
General fiber and carbon fiber ?, also posted in exterior
Ive done fiberglass before but I wanted to check with anyone who knows if the FG or CF will stick to a painted surface as in trying to form a shape from a body part?
for example ( and i mean example dont flame me ) if you cut cloth to just go beyond the sides of the hood and were going to glass it or do the Carbon fiber style would the resins stick to the paint? Is there a way to coat parts with an oil to prevent sticking etc...?
just wanted to learn more techniques on how to shape things that arent flat

Im gonna try saran wrap, then foil, then saran on top again, can afford any getting through on the bumper Im usuing as a mold, plus it has some extra contours to it.
So you havent had it eat through saran wrap
it was killing the surgical gloves I wore, or at least the finger tips
Resin has very high-power solvents in it. They're the actual liquid of the resin, and when the solvent evaporates it leaves behind the hard, plasticy surface. Chemicals like paint and latex (in your gloves) are similar to the polymers dissolved in the resin, and so the solvents will try to dissolve them too. Saran wrap is made of tougher stuff, so the liquid parts of the resin will dry up before they can eat through it.So you havent had it eat through saran wrap![]()

also cause the bottom of a bucket to warp and smoke up tons of toxic fumes, at that point cover face and walk away.
