Zyvax semi permanent mold release

General Composites Discussions Products Talk

Anybody ever used any of the products from Zyvax? I used Evan’s semi permanent mold release and it worked great. I wanted to get more from him and we made a deal on a trade for some, but as we all know Evan hasn’t been entirely too reliable on shipping out items lately. I mean, I know he is busy and all, but why outright lie to his customers? (Yes, I do realize his store is closed now, but this deal was made before he decided to shut his doors, and we have communicated even after he closed) Anyway, that’s my problem. I’ve been trying to find something that works as good or better than the stuff he was marketing and Zyvax’s products seem to be the next best thing. Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Yeah, I know he’s in China. Sorry, shouldn’t have mentioned anything about the poor service. But, I have been overly nice. I gave him an entire roll of Airtech breather ply in trade for some semi permanent mold release. Every time I contact him, he tells me the same thing- “I’ll ship it out as soon as possible”. Like I said before, I know he is way busy, but did (does) he have to down right lie to me? I guess it just doesn’t pay to be nice anymore.

Anyway, I’ll give up.

Edit this post like you need to but please keep my question.

Thanks,
Danny

Hey I don’t appreciate that. You didn’t give me the breather, I drove and picked it up for you because you didn’t want to pay for shipping after you had bought it on Ebay. I’m trading you for materials as a favor, if that’s not cool then I’ll go ahead and let you arrange shipping for the breather and I’ll keep the materials. Let me know and I’ll have my guy, Reagan, hold off on shipping you the resin/mold release. Like I said, I have no use for the breather.

Evan, I must apoligize to you for posting this in here, but you have to understand a few things… My first order from you was a very pleasureable experience. It hit my shop’s steps in just over a week. Awesome. My second order from you took over a month to get and yet I remained extremely patient with you. I had to ask for my money back before you sent it out. I even started every response in email as,“I know you are extremely busy but…and, I am not upset at you because I know you are that busy”. Your response to me was that I could have 15% off of my next order for the trouble. I never ordered from you again because you closed your retail store- so, I really did never receive that discount.

Yes, you are right, I did win that roll of breather off of Ebay and I paid alot more than what we decided to trade. I thought you could sell that roll and make a profit, especially when I found out it was located down the street from your shop. Just trying to help you out. All I asked for was that you “Look out for me”. I guess through our emails back and forth, we decided that I could get some System 3 SB112, and some semi permanent mold release and call it even. That was way back on 12-14-04. Only after repeated attempts did I get a response saying that you were sending it out on 1-17-05. Here it is the end of January and you reply in here saying that you can still send it out if I would like.

Well, Evan, yes, I would still like these products shipped to me, but if you decide that I was unfair at all- for any reason, please keep them and I will never bother you about them again.

Thanks,
Danny

Don’t take it personally Danny. It was a long flight and I was cranky

I have used zyvax semi permanents on a number of projects. I have had good results with them. I will say that you need to follow the directions to the letter. Don’t try to rush anything. I don’t use it unless I am doing at least 5-6 parts or more. It doesn’t pay to spend the time unless you can cut the costs versus using wax and PVA.

Evan’s stuff seems to work really great and is easy to apply. The stuff stinks to high heaven, but is really easy to put down.
