Personally I would use a mold release wax that can stand higher temperatures since fiberglass will heat up. Im not endorsing this company(even though they have got my business for all my supplies, i like their products) but USComposites has this type of mold release wax you would need. Just using regular wax isnt the way to go; these mold release waxes are made special for this.
