Seeking: mold advice *PIC*

I have a seat mold that I made a few years ago and want to make a seat from it. It is polyester resin with some fairing compound on it which still needs some sanding.
I will be molding in epoxy with layers of 6 oz and maybe some left over carbon fibre.
What is best for the release fabric? Can I use thin poly? wax paper? West release paper? What about release wax?
Also....Can I vacuum bag it with a trash bag and shop vac?
thanks
