I use a utility knife and a hefty pair of locking (as in Vise-Grip) thin-nosed pliers.
The trick is to score the plastic deeply enough to make it break along a line, but not deeply enough to scratch the resin. On Lt. Veo i did leave long white scratches which i obscured with a brown Sharpie marker.

But my last batch was mostly clear resin (with rox & stuff imbedded).
I got them off cleanly.

It takes good pliers and some strength to pull the molds off. Alternatively, you could just leave the things in the molds indefinitely. They seem to work just as well.
In which case you might want to be careful to avoid spilling resin on the outsides.

But it isn't only about pumpkins. For example, i ordered several of the molds on this page:
http://tinyurl.com/7lt6a8f
I'll let you know how they work out in a couple weeks.

http://loohan.com/animals.jpg

A detailed product review of the molds will follow son --- but first, i wd like to mention that making these is an experience. As a batch nears completion, things get real mellow as they kick into action. Enormous effect for such a small amount of resin.
Except for the turtle on the left, all these animals have nothing in them but epoxy and some powders. Yet they have wonderful sentient beings. In some cases, i have not noticed their astral bodies yet. In the cases i have, their astral bodies are much larger than their physical ones.

I was amazed by the turtle on the left. It was doing some remote work in Nigeria, then i asked it to address somebody elsewhere. A moment later, i "saw" a huge sea turtle maybe 30' long swim past me. I felt like i was underwater and rocked around a bit by the water currents it churned up in passing.
I cast the bear near the center for a special 7-year old girl in Nigeria. I didn't mention it to anyone and haven't sent it yet. But her mother wrote me the next day to say that her daughter was hearing someone calling her name repeatedly. This bear has a 2' astral body and has been helping those people.
The pig lower right is actually not a warrior but my personal healer. It has an astral body the size of an American football.

The molds i bought are
1 3/4" long x 1 1/2" tall frog
Cat #3
Pig #2
Turtle that looks like a sea turtle
2.5" bear.

I suspect i made a big mistake on the 1st cast, which fortunately only involved the turtle mold. I used (rancid) coconut oil as a lube. Normally i use lecithin pan spray or sometimes WD-40 on silicone molds, but this one time i tried coconut oil. It worked fine for the 1st cast but left a gummy residue on the turtle that i had to remove with citrus solvent. I suspect the residue left on the mold caused a deterioration.
The next cast i used pan spray. All went well, except that the turtle's back stuck strongly, and i had to pull it loose, leaving some mold rubber adhering to the shell. I was able to remove most of this (middle turtle in pic). Also a few tiny fragments of yellow mold material stuck to the cat, but it was very insignificant.

On the 3rd cast, i used WD-40. I sprayed it in heavily, let it sit a while, then turned the molds upside-down outside to let them drain overnight.
This went well too, although i felt the molds were sticking too tightly, and i was very careful to work them loose gradually.
Note that i use EPOXy which does not shrink as much as polyester resin. Poly might work better with these molds -- stick less.
Again there was faint residue in a couple spots on the cat.
The turtle turned out OK, but with lots of rubber stuck to it. I had to throw away that mold afte the 3rd use. But i think that was due to the coconut oil.

The molds are NOT made of silicone. They are made of a toxic-smelling yellow rubber. I do not know how long they will hold up, but they are worth it even if you just get a few casts out of them.

The cat mold is gorgeous. It does have fur detail, which is normally best to avoid, as rubber will stick more to it. But nonetheless, i love it. The cats actually have enough roundness in them to accept some of the new Rolling Force pgms! One of the cats has 2 RF pgms, the other has 4. Very powerful.

My other favorite is that one kind of frog.

2 of the molds were lopsided. On the upper right you see a pig and a bear. Due to the pic angle, it is not so obvious, but both lean a lot. But some resin can be ground off later.
The first pig did not lean much because i propped one side of the mold up.
Also the turtle mold is fairly devoid of detail on the face and paws, despite good detail on the shell. But i still like it.

I just ordered some more of these molds. I ordered another of the same turtle, 2 of the same frogs (probably better to get 2 separate ones instead of saving $1 on the double unit), another of the same pig, another of the same cat. Also a Frog Embed mold that makes 12 tiny frogs.
This way i will be able to pour a bunch of animals all at once.

Forgot to mention:
The literature that comes with the molds says they can take 300 deg F, and recommends using a "release agent" if using resin.

Here is my most recent cast:
http://loohan.com/animals2.jpg
Because the 12-frog mold only requires 2 pours of my epoxy, i was able to do 2 batches.
Not shown are 1 cat and 1 frog. Because they are so stuck i can't get them out of the molds! Totally stuck all around. Can't begin to break them loose anywhere.
I will let them harden longer, then i will have to pry them out with a butter knife or something.
These molds are NOT SUITED FOR EPOXY. The only one that has survived after 3 casts is the pig one, and the nose really stuck this time. It is still good for at least 1 cast.

The bear came out covered in yellow rubber.

I will set the surviving molds aside for some warm weather when i can pour POLYESTER outside. I suspect they will work much better with polyester resin.

On this cast, i was guided to ONLY put a small amount of cocoa in the epoxy. No objects. But a variety of pgms went into this. Maybe 1/5 of it got the S-B pgm. One of the cats has 2 RF pgms, the other has 5.

The smaller frogs are really tiny. The 24 i already have contain 7 different pgms between them.
I am supposed to eventually have 60 of these, and put them all sitting on one orgone piece i have.

Oh yeah, one other tip. Anytime you get a rubber mold with a split (the bear mold had one), be sure to lube the surfaces of the split before the first cast, or they will probably FUSE permanently back together. I had to cut new splits on a couple of my pricey 3" sphere silicone molds, because most mold vendors neglect to mention this.

The mold for this is sold by
http://www.allmolds.com/
also he sells them on eBay. I bid 16.95 for one, and nobody bid against me. But shipping is another 16 from Canada to US.
It sailed right through customs, though.

This mold is made of thick plastic that is somewhat flexible. My first cast came out quite easily. I just gently tugged it loose around the edges and it plopped out cleanly. This is with epoxy. For lube i sprayed with lecithin pan spray, and wiped of the excess.

I just did the 1st pour of my 2nd cast.
Thumbs up on this one.

The 2nd cast came out just as cleanly:
http://loohan.com/TurtleVEO1.1.12.jpg

This guy has some interesting molds:
http://stores.ebay.com/creativelandscapes?_trksid=p4340.l2563
I just bought the Easter Island Tiki Statue Mold. Nobody bid against me.

I do not recommend these molds.
http://loohan.com/EasterIslandMask.jpg
The epoxy does not want to come out at all. Seems securely glued in.
I could try the freezing trick to get it off, but i noticed that the mold seems to have slightly warped in spots. Also the outside of the mold has a cool texture to it. So i think i'll just leave the mold on.

I think this type of plastic must be much more sensitive to heat than what the big turtle mold is made of. The turtle mold is still in mint condition after 3 offspring, and i doubt it got less heat than the black one.

I may hang this on a wall as is. Perhaps someday trim off the excess flange and re-cast the face shallowly in a big rectangular mold.

The 4th cast also came out cleanly, even though i warped the turtle mold slightly because the 1st 2 pours of this cast overheated. The turtle turned out with a concave back, and so did the mold. I think i can probably bend the mold back by heating it with hot water and putting pressure on it.

The hippo mold i got on eBay worked excellent the first time. We will see how it holds up to future uses.

Advice for this mold: suspend it so the weight is not resting on the bottom. For the first couple pours. If it heats up while resting on its back, the mold will tend to bow inward there, i suspect.

Here's how i recommend you use this thing. I took a cardboard box that had a top opening of 12.5" X 8.5" and jammed the mold in so it is pretty well supported:
http://loohan.com/turtle-mold.jpg
Also i left a hefty shiva lingam stone in it for weeks to bow the back out.
I poured with the mold suspended in the box. That's the 5th turtle i've made with the mold, and the mold is still good.
The turtle came out with a convex shell instead of the usual flat shell. If you prefer a flat shell, don't bend the mold like i did. But do support the mold like i did to avoid warping the mold into a concave shell shape.

Also i have made 3 hippos so far, and they all came out great, and the mold still looks fine. Do a search for hippo mold on eBay. Comes from S. Korea.
I think this turtle and hippo are the best animal molds i've found.

There are several hippo molds on eBay. The one i recommend is here

Molds still working well.

You don't need a lot of fancy ingredients to make sentient devices. These hippos and the turtle on the left named "Ice" are just clear epoxy.

I said initially that they did not seem to have etheric souls, but later i realized that they DO have immortal souls and astral bodies that are very powerful, being grounded in orgone devices.
This means that if the device gets destroyed, the soul will not have so much power anymore without the "body", but can reincarnate into a new, similar project.

> I suspect i made a big mistake on the 1st cast, which fortunately only involved the turtle mold. I used (rancid) coconut oil as a lube. Normally i use lecithin pan spray or sometimes WD-40 on silicone molds, but this one time i tried coconut oil. It worked fine for the 1st cast but left a gummy residue on the turtle that i had to remove with citrus solvent. I suspect the residue left on the mold caused a deterioration.

I was able to remove most of this (middle turtle in pic). Also a few tiny fragments of yellow mold material stuck to the cat, but it was very insignificant.

The cats actually have enough roundness in them to accept some of the new Rolling Force pgms! One of the cats has 2 RF pgms, the other has 4. Very powerful.
