Thanks for the info!

Any thoughts on using steel with a good mold release instead of hdpe?

I have used Boron Nitride as mold release when doing aluminum castings, I've never tried it with resins, but if it can hold up to molden aluminum, i bet it'll withstand the chemical reaction of resin.
You can get a can of Boron Nitride mold release from Grainger industrial supply for about $23/can.

Make your steel mold with a slight draft angle and spray a nice thick coat of BN over all the contact surface and it should work.

Good luck
