Contact paper does release well, but the adhesive doesn't stick to epoxy very well (especially if the weave isn't filled). If it lifts up, you'll get a wavy lip. I found that 3M packaging tape sticks a better, and it's a great release surface. You will have small ridges in the lip where there's tape overlap, but those are pretty easy to sand-out.
