looking for mold release material

I've been making fiberglass seats for my boats fashioned after my own posterier,using two part foam to make a mold,etc. I'm looking for a release material (I'm using garbage bags to protect my butt and wetsuit when sitting down onto the wet glass and mold of the seat) that would work better and not wrinkle up while waiting for the resin to kick off (and send me out of the boat with a hot seat).

I find that a custom seat gives a noticable improvement in comfort and control of the boat. The amount of pressure on my knees and thighs decreased for a given amount of boat lean, works better than just putting in tighter hip and thigh braces alone.
