Is there something you can put on a mold to keep the 2 part foam from sticking to it. As an example, I was thinking of using aluminum foil to make a mold, but I was afraid the foam will stick to it. The foam seems like you can form it to anything as long as it dosen't stick.

I've seen Crisco cooking grease used as a release agent.  I guess you could coat the foil with that to make sure it doesn't stick.  Sound like you are gonna have a mess trying to shape expanding foam with only foil?  IMO It would be easier to just pour the foam and shape it by hand later on.
