Thank you all for the great advice. I now see that vinyl ester resin is stickier than polyester resin, so yeah I am going to look for some plastic for the mold like we used at OtherPower. I reassure myself that this is a good learning experience, I didn't do a meticulous job on the coils anyway, so losing them and the mold isn't a overwhelming obstacle; just a bump in the road to building my first wind turbine. When i started out I thought there was just too many skills needed to build the wind turbine so I got the local community college involved. That was a bigger blunder than messing up the stator, but it did teach me that the way I've always done things is good enough: Solo. I won't go into what happened with the college if you are interested you can go to my site http://outfitnm.com and read the BMN (Brian's Morning Newsletter) the specific newsletter is titled "WTF is up with Luna CC" How quickly we can shift gears and make a new plan is very important to being successfully resourceful. I am going at it again soon, but for now I am focusing on Spring planting.     Brian Rodgers
