Go read the shape lock website the list some product for making
impressions... <br>
I think they mentioned something as simple as vegetable oil....
<br><br>
From the website:<br><br>
<b>Making Molds</b> - ShapeLock can be used to make single or multi-part
molds of other objects. The only limit is the ability of ShapeLock to be
fully pushed into highly detailed depressions. A coating of vegetable
oil, wax release agent or syran wrap will prevent ShapeLock from adhering
to the object being molded.<br><br>

Do you think the Shapelock, Polymorph <br>
or similar would come right out once it hardened or might there
<br>
need to be something (what?) between the mold and the plastic for
<br>
it to come out easily?<br>
Thanks!<br><br>
