Default hatch

So i finished the build of my Hatch today. now here i am like a kid at christmas time , cant wait to get this thing out of the mold so i'm now working with the mold removal wedge and nothing and i mean nothing is happening at all. After about an hour i get the Hatch out , only problem is 90 percent of the MDF is still conected to it and i thought i used enough mold release but that spray wax the guy sold me must not have worked. Now here i am taking the MDF down layer by layer 1/32 nd of an inch at a time with my Dewalt power planer. Just wanted to shoot my self. so after three hours of the Planer the palm sander and 4 different wood chisels i got it down to the gelcoat but not without a little bit of damage. i did expect that it would need some work but not the 2 gouges i put in it! The point of the story is hand rub the wax into the mold. other than that the hatch came out fantastic could not be more pleased
