    Angry composit leading edge

    does any one have a good way to remove the mold release material from the fiberglass leading edge. i have tryed denatured alcohol, acetone, 3m adhesive cleaner to no good. the best thing i have found so far is a body shop pin stripe remover in a drill,
    which is a round eracer on a shaft. thanks for any suggestons.

    duh,tryed every thing under the sun then desided to water sand the leading edge as the mold release would clog dry paper. water will take it

    right off.

    I understand your adventure. I use the liquid release from time to time and still can't understand waxing the mold, then sparying a water based liquid and it sheets like glass. I wish my final color coats covered as well.
