Default Fiberglassing

When using a mold to make something out of fiberglass what should i use as a release agent that is cheap but will still work. I have heard to use wax, anybody had any experience with this?

Any help is greatly appreciated

I haven't started yet, but i am planning on using the clay that you can bake in your home oven my sister used some of that for a school project and it seem like it might work.

I've used old fashion turtle wax in a pinch when I ran out of the real stuff. I just put it on thicker than normal.
