I've seen youtube videos of people using a leaf press with olive oil as a release agent. I've also seen people using the silicone sheet presses using all sorts of stuff, including water. I found a video of an Australian chap who doesn't use anything with the silicone sheets and just peels them away from the foundation. In the video at least, it seemed to work well enough.
As I still haven't got around to making my own silicone sheets yet and because it appears to be possible to buy them cheaper than the stuff to make the moulds, I've bought a couple. I'm just trying to work out how best to set it up for use at the moment (in terms of allowing excess wax to run off somewhere I can collect it easily and so on).
