What is it you are trying to keep from sticking to what? If I were you and
didn't have access to industrial mold releases I would use Johnson's floor
wax paste or a very high carnuba content hard paste wax. Wax and buff 6-7
times leave a little time in between. If I were me and in a hurry and doing
a one off, I'd skip the wax and spray on a nice heavy layer of PVA
(polyvinylalcohol) in several light coats with high atomization and dry time
in between each one.
