How to get the resin from a plastic mold type cast? (Attached)?

Is there any way to get easy cast resin out of the plastic mold. I accidentally I have my oven very hot and melted the mold a bit and caused it to look slightly deformed .. and now the resin is cured and I can not get parts out of resin. Does anyone know how? Unfortunately, do not use a mold release spraay .. im not even sure if that would have worked because I'm affraid the resin and plastic are fused together. but I think there may still be a way to get the resin out of the mold. Does anybody have any idea? (Without ruining the parts)

First, not sure why they were using a furnace *. * Easy to cast (such as regular epoxy resins, and even as polyester resins) creates its own heat to cure once the two parts are mixed, and not put in an oven. This extra heat could have been the problem but also the resins should be used only in certain types of molds (unless you use a mold release). The most common molds "sold for resin" are made of HDPE plastic (or you can use things like Rubbermaid or Tupperware containers if needed something small). Other types of plastic molds generally not recommended. Silicone molds can also be used. (All molds should not have any scratches yet, even small ones, if you want the result clearer softer surface so the resin … not even wipe them dry, dry air). epoxy resins (including one called Easy Cast adjusted) are also a little more adhesive resins polyester casting (Castin Craft transparent polyester resin casting is the most common brand). You can try to cool the resin and mold in the freezer for a while then try to separate them, but otherwise only have to destroy the mold (and I know better next time.) There are a lot of information if you are interested in boats transparent resins (epoxy and polyester), including the use of them in the molds when it is convenient, etc, on this page to my site: http://glassattic.com/polymer/other_materials.htm HTH, Diane B.
