Getting ready to start finishing the inside of the cabin top. There are
some large voids (surprise surprise) that have a yellow to orange
residue. Is this mold release? Should I use a solvent to remove it?
Would acetone work?

If I'm understanding correctly, and if the yellowish areas are hard, I
believe these are voids that the fiberglass vendor has filled with and
epoxy/filler solution, try scratching these to see\ if they act like
epoxy. Mold release is a wax like substance that is soft.

Larry,

Start with water; most mold releases today are waterborne. If that does not
work go with the acetone

I believe that most mold release agents are water soluble.

As Hugo stated on the lastest email concerning this topic, if it is on the
inside of the part it is lickely one of the following.

1) A lack of adequate fiberglass cloth over the core material and it is
showing through.
2) A separator film, like peel ply(Absorbant)(usually white in color) or
perforated release film plastic(non absorbant)that is laid over the part to
separate it from the next material.
3) A breather cloth which allows all the air to be removed from the project
prior to the vacuum bag touching down on the part while pulling vacuum.
4) unlikely to be the actual vacuum bag with all this other stuff in between
during the entire process.

On the outside, up against the mold, the wax they use is whiped off just
like the finish on your car, you can't see it. Over that, they use PVA(
poly vinyl acetate) an alcohol/water based release agent, green in color and
leaves a transparent film so thin it would whipe off with a sponge and
water.

In any case, it doesn't speak to well for the manufactures of the part.
