I like tinfoil as a release agent.

Plasti-dip (spray-on) has also been used as mold release / separator

Bee or carnuba wax ?

Thanks for those ideas, guys,

This afternoon, I applied the clear packing tape to both rear side windows. Was debating going ahead & getting started with the lay-up, but I had to be somewhere and my "window of opportunity" got squeezed to a point I was afraid I wouldn't have time to finish either side. And the place I had to be probably needed me to be clean and free of 'glass fibers hanging off my cloths, the clean-up period squeezing my time window even tighter. So now, the plan is to try & get it done tomorrow.

This time I used 4 plies. The edge ridges show through again, and you can see this time I did a 45 degree bias slanting back, and then another one foreward. Those are the middle two. The inner and outer ones run straight front & back. Assuming I can get it released ok, we'll see if it has less tendency to twist/warp this time.

My garage is full of crap, so the car's outside. It's forecast to get down into the 30's tonight, so to avoid wrecking the cure, I have an extension cord with two 200-watt bulbs inside the car, a large aluminum "turkey drip pan" propped up as a reflector to direct the radiant heat towards the inside of the "mold window". On the outside I have a layer of cellophane wrap to block the wet surface from the tarp I have draped over the whole car to reduce heat loss. With luck, this will keep things warm enough all night to allow the cure to continue.
