Spray epoxy release agent for Marine-Tex

[QueensHorseman]

I have always used Agra glass however it has been difficult to locate so I was going to try Marine-Tex. Para Film 4 spray release was recommended but I can’t locate it in Canada. Can you recommend a good spray release agent available in Canada.

With Agra glass I have used polish and even cooking spray with no issues and good results however Marine-Tex is new to me and I want to be cautious and also get that lovely smooth mold Marine-Tex provides.

Thanks

With two pieces of wood do a test using paste wax as a release agent. Light coat let it dry, another light coat and lightly polish.
Paste wax was as good or better as any release I ever used.

That is what I use and how I use it, works perfect!

Thanks, I’ll give the paste wax a try. It’s the “lightly polish” part that makes me nervous but the test trial would be good confirmation.

Where exactly does one pick up paste wax these days? I've looked around and had no luck.

or you can use a small can of neutral shoe polish

That paste is also good for any wood stocks. I've used it on both CZs and a Marlin and Rem-722. I put several coats on the stocks, with a day or two between coats. Pretty durable since it's for floors.

Just a light buff with a soft cloth will do, it works great as a release agent.

Also nice on wood stocks, I use it on matte blued guns like a 870 express.
