Default Molding Problems

I've just pulled a set of molds from a plug.... plug was made with blue foam covered in 2 layers of 12oz cloth then filled and primed before rubbing back to 1200 grade wet. Then 6 coats of maguires mirror glaze applied before spraying on 3 layers of PVA release agent. The molds were made up of 2 thick coats of Durabuild surface primer and 8 layers of 12oz cloth.... the molds pulled away ok but in places some of the primer came away too which wasn't too much of a problem as it polished up smooth with no edges with rubbing compound but in a couple of other places some of the filler came away too which did cause a problem as it needed to be mechanically removed and has affected the surface finish....

Any thoughts to prevent this happening again?
