I'm trying to cast something with clay and I'm having an issue I haven't had before where little patches of the very surface keep sticking to the silicone mold and breaking off.

I don't understand how this keeps happening- I've used every kind of release agent (even though I've never had to before with this clay), having the clay extra hot, cool as possible, pouring all at once, pouring layer by layer and slush casting, etc.

I don't mind smoothing over small issues but I'm casting this shit in clay to save me time, not spend even more cleaning it up

if it's not moisture then it's air bubbles getting trapped in the mold. it's modeling clay, not mold clay. when using mold you use something that's liquid, solid clay will trap air and make bubbles.

I would look at chia pet patents videos and ripoff seem like something that a quality assessment team would obsesses over.
dirty jobs did a bell manufacture it was sand casting I recall similar defects were soldered or ground before the buffing process.
