does it stick to the mold or does it release after it sets up?

It id definetly moldable. However it is one of the stickiest substances on earth. An excellent mold release is PVA.

you know what? did not ended up using it after all. I will use it at some time but went with other molding ideas I picked up around youtube for making armor and props.

The beads absorb moisture from the air. When heated, it is released. Works great, without wetting and is reusable over and over. Can't imagine it molding unless you stored in an airtight bag after heating before it cools, which I would NOT recommend doing.

I have had a the same thing happen, only mine didn't happen until several months after use. I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I just "pop" it down with my hand kind of hard and it starts. As Scott said, it started doing that after I didn't get it sealed and it leaked. So I am guessing that there is just some "gunk" in there causing it to stick. If you wouldn't mind, please post what you find out from customer service. I am still able to use mine, but it continues to stick occasionally.

Mine was stuck at first, but after I got it open the first time it opens and closes easily. It's a twist and groove set up.

I have yet to use mold release with my silicone molds but I've not done anything too big or too detailed. If I was doing something with a lot of tiny intricate details I would hit it with some mold release as opposed to risking it not turning out. I hope that helps.

I had the same issues. Sometimes it can be the humidity of the room. Did you use sugarveil molds? I used it to spread it flat and thin as paper on a fondant mat and it was a sticky mess after 72 hours. I saw the other product "sugar dress", I will give it a try instead.

It works for me, I press it down hard as the object will allow. For the putty, I usually use a bit more than the gel and sometimes I even mix the putty with the gel. I takes the putty a little longer to set, I usually let it set up for 36 hours or more, don't keep touching or moving it. Once it's in place, just let it be. Hope it helps.

The sucketion cup is soft gel. Once washed it will continue to stick. The leveler and the soft gel works great together.

I remove it immediately...make sure the concrete is not too wet when you mix it! Shimmy and shake the mold as you pull up on it and it lifts up easily and fast!

just double sided glue on the base. if you clean the surface before hand then it sticks rather well, mine have not even closely come loose after about 4 months now. this product is also very bright with varying flash speeds and patterns

It happens to me too, make sure you do not overfill the mold. That seems to help.

It sticks just fine and it is also very easy to remove. I had to take it off and reapply and I was able to do it with no problem.

Depending on the amount and exact surface it will stick differently. Sometimes it falls off and sometimes it will be so strong it takes off the top surface coating.

It only sticks to the parts that remain after cutting. I thought the same thing and watched a few youtube videos before buying to understand better. Try looking it up on youtube.

No it's white. It sticks very good. I haven't had any mold problems. No water can get under it.

Well the problem with any mold is that it's alive, more or less. So, once it starts, one either kills it or does not. What I did (no longer have that machine,) was always wipe the inside of the seal with a solution of pure liquid bleach, applied on a rag, using my finger tip (rubber gloves, OK) as the applicator. That more or less did the job... depending on how bad it was. But there's no doubt it's a troublesome problem. The other thing I frequently did was run a load of HOT water in the empty machine, with about a quart of pure bleach. I think you get the drift: mold is not your buddy; kill it!

It just sticks right to the wall. I even peeled it off and moved to another wall with no problems.
