(from Breyer History Diva, June, 2012)
Like this very oddly oversprayed mane:
And what I call "mold stick" - a roughly textured surface caused by the model sticking to the mold itself:
I’m not sure what the actual technical term for the problem is, that’s just what I happen to call it when I see it. (BTW, I worked in the offices of a plastics injection molding plant for several years. Very useful in terms of my research, but I didn’t get out into the plant much, though.) Molds are usually sprayed or otherwise coated with a mold release agent to prevent molded pieces from sticking to the mold, but it does need to be reapplied from time to time, and especially after one has been cleaned and/or repaired.
