I am in a country where I can't import from easy composites, what is the easy lease chemical release agent, what is it's alternatives

I already have PVA release agent

Which release agent should I apply on the mould?

What went wrong, how do i avoid it?

The part here is made out of ABS, its the mudguard from a triumph.
I tried making the mould out of this part, applied gelcoat for the first layer, then iso polyester resin and the gp resin, the iso and gp where applied on chopped fiberglass.

I also applied a lot of pva release agent (the blue visible in the mould), how do i avoid this in the future

I am a aerospace working in the composite division and with this have acquired a good knowledge on carbon fibre, hence in my free time. I started manufacturing carbon fibre parts for my bike (scrambler 400x). I have noticed carbon fibre being sold for a very high price in the west and eu market and this is because cf is labour intensive

But in our country since labour is cheap, i want to take advantage, so what is the process to export carbon fibre bike/car modification accesories like bonnet, seat cowl, spoilers etc.

Mind you that these will be handmade, the fabric is being imported from japan, can the members roast my idea, would it or would it not work out. Also how hard is it to export this, how to find a retailer who will sell this

I want to convert this business from making aftermarket CF auto parts to maybe partnering up with motorsports entities and the ultimate end goal is to cater to other industries especially drone and UAV field
