I managed to get the 2 halves apart with the use of some ice block sticks. Basically just slide/knock them in like wee wedges.
It's quite a relief when the mould finally cracks open without breaking anything!
With the nice new mould I then took to it with the cutting disk on the grinder. This was to square up the edges and expose the action area. The exposed action area idea of mould making I got from @stug
Mould got cleaned up with hot soapy water then another 6 coats of release wax to each side before letting it sit overnight.
