Solvents, Cleaners & Release Agents

Solvents, acetone, styrene monomer, MEK & thinners Release agents, wax mould, liquid wax & PVA. Professional-grade cleaners for resin tools, acetone alternatives, and mold releases for flawless demolding. 56+ years supplying Sunshine Coast fabricators.

Acetone & MEK Solvents

High-purity acetone for cleaning uncured resin from tools/rollers/brushes; MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) for tougher cured residues. Fast-evaporating, non-residue; acetone safer/less aggressive than MEK. Bulk 20L drums or 1L tins; ventilate well, gloves essential. Preferred over thinners for precision cleanup. Available in 20L down to 500ml sizes.

Styrene Monomer & Thinners

Styrene monomer thins polyester resins (5-10% max to avoid brittleness); universal thinner for brushes/tools. Low-odor grades available; flammable, store cool. Use sparingly to maintain resin strength; test viscosity before layup. Essential for hot weather thinning.

Wax Mould Release Agents

Carnauba-based mould release wax for mold surfaces; apply 3–5 thin coats, buff between. Prevents resin adhesion on plugs/molds; reusable 10+ pulls. Ideal for polyester laminates; compatible with gelcoat. Reapply after sanding; marine-grade for boat molds.

Liquid Wax Release

Brush-on or spray liquid wax for quick mold prep; cures to glossy barrier. 2-3 coats, dry 10 mins between; superior release vs paste for complex molds. PVA overcoat optional; low-build for fine details.

These guys are great. Very helpful and loads of advice. Have been repairing some of my surfboards that were too hard basket for local board repair guys. The owners have taken the time every time to help me out with what I do and dont need.

Friendly service with plenty of good advice. I'm doing a mould with tooling gel and polyester resin, and they set me up with the right products for my project and talked me through each step so I was more confident to tackle it.

Really great service and advice on resins, their application and use. They were busy but still took the time to answer my questions. I look forward to dealing with Ace Fibreglass again.
