    Can this hi gloss top-coat be used Instead of tooling gel for mold building? I only build up to 60" molds max.

    Thanks,
    Derrick

    I built an 8m x 3m flat table we are using to mould bulkheads, hatches and other panels which i used this product as the finished coat. So far have done 10 infusions which went over 60 degrees an numeous smaller parts and have had no troubles with it

    This product has wax in it I would not recomend it in place of tooling gel.It is meant to be used as a topcoat to refinish a mold or plug.
