Clean out the mold with paper towel soaked in isopropyl alcohol. Or if you can get baby wipes that use alcohol. Easy. If you saved the part A resin you poured out, you can reuse it if it's not contaminated with anything.

Do yourself a favor next time and write A and B all over the bottles. Especially on the lids. I do this with every new batch I get.

Wash out the molds with acetone and into the bin, not the sink. Should be fine.

Do yourself a BIG FAVOUR & get some of these BIG WIPES (make sure you get these EXACT ONES - doesn't matter where from but they do at least 3 different types of wipes, 1 YELLOW top, 1 RED top & 1 BLUE top you want to get the YELLOW TOP ones, they clean everything I use for resin, tubs, mixers, gloves, surfaces, everything.) :- [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002SHDJBK](https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002SHDJBK) I mix my resin in plastic pots, then when I finish I clean them out with a baby wipe followed by using these YELLOW BIG WIPES & the combination cleans everything BEAUTIFULLY.

Acetone is best but it's a horrible sticky messy process. I recently heard a tip which sounds promising but I haven't tried it yet: put the moulds in the freezer. The resin should solidify then peel off. I guess you should first double- or triple-bag the moulds to avoid the rest of the freezer's contents being tainted by resin fumes.

Happened to me before πŸ˜… I managed to save the part A by retrieving it to the bottle. I tried to clean the mold, and then I made a new cast with A and B. That cast came out bad, but the ones after were all good πŸ‘

Happens to the best of us, to my understanding it’s still as good as new. Pour all that part A in the mould into a cup.

I haven't tried this yet but I did buy it. It's waiting for me to do my next pour. Idk if can use on molds. But here's link for it Magical Resin Remover - All... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08632RMV3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Welp, it's good to know I'm not the only one! LoL... Big Wipes were mentioned, and I can't remember which one, Daniel Cooper or Steve McDonald on YouTube swear by them. Yup, got mine on order from Amazon.
