I polished the wax good, that may be part of my problem. I did use differnt paint this time, some Concept PPG and Klasskote Epoxy paint. I've used them together before on planes, but never in the mold. I will give the feeler gauge trick a try. I am using bondo spreaders right now, they are just not long enough. I have the back edge started, but the leading edge isn't budging.
