I made a unimold of a plug today. The plug got bad and also the mold. Does anyone know what can have caused these problems? I have use both the pattern coat primer and the hi gloss on a MDF pattern.

It sounds like this was definitely a release failure. How well did you clean the plug before applying it, did you use a solvent? 

How well sealed have you kept the bottle of Easylease? When you are applying it, do you keep the lid off or do you put the lid back on straight away before applying it to the mould? Chemical release agents are very sensitive to moisture and are hygroscopic by nature, so you need to be quite careful with how well sealed you keep the bottle and how often you expose it to the air.
