Last week I bagged my first set of stabs for a HLG. I had waxed the
mylars with 7 coats of "Freecote" mold release agent in advance. Used
"PJ's" epoxy, and left the whole thing in the bag for 48 hrs until the
epoxy cured, (low temp in my garage). The stab came out fine, the
mylars came out with little tiny speckles of epoxy that failed to
release and bonded to the surface. We're talking really tiny spots, but
you can see and feel them on the mylars. These little suckers won't rub
off. I've got a feeling that this is abby normal. So the question is...
I want to bag some more, how do I get the little speckles off ? How do
I prevent them in the future ? Different epoxy ? Longer cure time,
(epoxy was cured when I remove the stab from the bag), ? Apply heating
pad to the bag ? Different wax ?
I have more mylar and will cut new pieces this weekend but don't think
that I need to cut new mylars for every piece. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
