Dan,
It may be easier to stop the plastic from sticking in the first place. We
generally coat the film (or clear packing tape) with mold release (bought
---From Aircraft Spruce, but it looks pretty much like ordinary paste wax for
cars). The layup comes right off after it's set. The wax residue is easily
cleaned off with solvent, if you need to bond or paint the surface later.
