It is used a lot when working with fiberglass. For example, when releasing a fiberglass casting from a fiberglass mold, or as a parting agent for the second half of a fiberglass mold or mother mold. >>> It also comes in quite handy if you use a platinum base silicone against a material that would normally inhibit the cure of the silicone (platinum base silicone is quite touchy in that respect). The PVA acts as a true barrier coat, yet is 'very' thin and will not affect the detail of the piece being cast. You can brush PVA on or apply with an airbrush. The nice part is, when you are finished, the dry PVA wipes away and dissolves with just water. --------------------------- Mike, Would PVA parting film like Partall work with oil clay, plasticine? I use epoxy and fabric over clay a lot, and It would be great if I could coat with something that would let me get the epoxy off without the clay sticking. thanks, Ed _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
