 Rick,I am no expert because I hate doing it but I don't use a release agent, instead I cover the part with red Tuk Tape used to tape  poly together.  Fiberglass will not stick to it.  I made the cowl for Gamma's pod that way.  I covered the steel panel with tape and laid the glass on that, and it popped right off.  You should put saddle tanks on anyways ;-)

 HankI originally gave the job to a guy who does glass work for a living along with my Styrofoam mold that I had spent many many hours fairing out and he failed to use a mold release that was for Styrofoam and ended up having to pick the Styrofoam mold out piece by piece so he was not able to use it to make the second tank and he for some reason had only laid up two layers of glass before wrecking the mold so I went and got it from him and will finish them myself. I have worked with glass before but don't enjoy it. I might take them to a body shop here to have them do a gel coat so they look pretty. Hard to find good help on this Island!

Hank,

In notice that you have the thruster horizontal.  I find them to be very
tail heavy... are you counterbalancing them in this position or just taking
up vertical rotation tendency with a tight joint?

Jon. Here is a picture that shows my solenoid valve inside an oil filled
enclosure behind the sail. The enclosure is a rubber plumbing boot Hank
