    this is my first ever build...i have a few questions. they may have been asked before but didn't see any when I searched the forum for outrigger results. anyone out there with outrigger experience that can help me out?

    what release agent have you had the most success with? don't want to ruin a borrowed mold...
    how thick does the hull need to be built up to?
    is there a glass weave that works best?
    any major mistakes that i should watch out for so i don't end up wasting a ton of money and time?

    the mold is of a 24 foot hawaiian style outrigger. we'll be working in the typical hawaii weather. 80% or < humidity at about 80 degress.
