I am restoring a 1969 Columbia C-22, hull #923. In order to make a forward hatch cover I built a mold to lay up the fiberglass in. I built it out of pine 2x4s, filled the corners with plaster, filled the low spots with soft body filler, painted it black, gave it about 10 coats of wax, applied one coats of mold release, waxed it again, and finally added 2 more coats of mold release. Some areas released very well, others didn’t separate at all. Some areas pulled the paint off and other areas pulled the plaster and filler right out of the mold. I am happy with the hatch cover since it can be cleaned up, but the mold is shot. What did I do wrong?Gerald
