In Response To: hairspray as a release (mike allen)

: hey ross
: i read about hairspray as a release agent in a mag from west(epoxyworks) some
: time ago. (at least i think i did -will have to check). but when you think
: abt it, way more expensive than pva.

Well, not really...if a person only needed to use it once, it would be more expensive to buy a larger container of PVA that would sit around and be wasted.

Then again, if you can steal your wife's hairspray, it costs her money, costs you nothing, and the expenditure doesn't get charged against your boatbuilding hobby!!

: like its water soluble and gives a shiny surface. oh well can at least use it
: on the hairlicks.

I might have to give it a shot.

I still can't remember where I read it, since I've never read Epoxyworks.
