Ok, I am back. Been busy and been sore after breaking a rib so I have been taking it easy. Yes, I asked for solutions, actually I asked for suggestions, same thing. I got a lot of them and I fully expected the usual deluge of "Lee sucks" posts. I generally ignore them. Lee has not been in business for 60-70 whatever years for selling total junk. Most of their stuff works just fine, including the molds. The internet is great for one thing, that is everyone pointing out their bad experiences but nobody that has good experiences saying much of anything. So you will hear 10 bad for every one good. The people without issue simply do not talk about it. Ok, That said, Larry has given some good info on a solution that has worked for him over the years. I can tell you I have used this method in other uses in the automotive industry to do exactly the same thing so I know it works as stated. I have not tried it with molds yet. In this case I do not think it is going to work due mainly to the condition of the mold. See the picture. I have several pics of the different cavities but this is one of the ones that will not release and the other one looks just like it. The ones that will release look better but not much.
