I'm currently working on a project were I'm making a mould of a spherical garden ornament. The garden ornament is the plug, I filled, sanded, painted and smoothed it, then I applied several layers of release wax and then PVA. When I applied the fibreglass it caused the paint to soften and blister, and it peals away when I try to remove the fibreglass mould.
I have tried using car bodywork repair paint, the high build type that is easy to sand, I also tried ordinary household vinyl emulsion. Both of these have caused the same problem.
Could anyone tell me what type of paint won't react with polyester resin, that I can obtain in the UK?
Other postings have mentioned Duratec but we don't seem to get that in the UK, is there a similar product I can get here?
Others have mentioned polyurethane or polyester paint. Can I get these in B&Q or Halfords or online somewhere? Is melamine paint viable?
Cheers for the help.
