Problem with conforming steel epoxy failing to release.

I really don't know what I could be doing wrong... after making the female die from the wax model (no undercuts holes etc.) I thoroughly coat with either silicone, mineral oil, or vaseline. I've tried other stuff also, and nothing seems to allow release CONSISTENTLY. I've wrecked allot dies because of their failure to release.I notice that Susan Kingsley, in her book, says not to use styrofoam or plastic cups for mixing the epoxy steel, why not plastic? Could this possibly be my problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
Jon
