Here's my two cents worth on laminate plates . I do not use any oil at all matter fact I go out of the way in clean the plate with alcohol or acetone making sure that I have all oil and residues completely worshiped off . D depending on the molds if I have to warm them up the more detail work in the mold most likely you will have to warm them up. but like ctom said most likely let your mold set in a room at room temperature for most of your mold shooting.
