What about a mold release agent? That could help not destroy the pallettes

Eyes look fantastic by the way

Hey guys, I bought the clear molding resin kit from Michaels. $13.99 and a 40% coupon fom my phone app= $8.39,
that and the 6 slot tray from JoAnn fabric and Craft for .99cents. I made 12 eyes and have only used 1/3 of the bottles. Cures in 24 hours. A note: I used Pledge furniture polish and wiped the form to remove excess, as a release agent. When cured, flex the edges of the tray around each eye to break the edge seal and whack it into your hand and they pop out nice. Another tip. This stuff is designed to let the bubbles relase by itself, but, if you mix gently, minimizing the bubbles, and pour from the edge of the mold instead of the center of the depression, the bubbling is minimal. Wait about 15 minutes, and use a popsicle stick to drag any remaining bubbles to the edge. Then set your eye cutout on at a slight angle as to alow air to escape. Pour enough resin onto the back of the cutout to cover and seal the edges. In 24 hours they are done. Don't get excited and try to take them out early. They will be too soft and you can mess them up. This was fun. I gotta make some more.
