Alison Duddle uses cellophane - which I think you've called plastic film - a kind of cling wrap. It works really well but I find it fiddly, possibly because I've got fatter fingers than Alison, especially round details - eyes, noses, ears... I tend to use a light spray of furniture polish, let it dry off for a few minutes, and then simply start sticking on the glue and paper. It works fine, but possibly takes a day or two longer for the paper layers to dry out. Alison disapproves as she thinks the polish on the clay makes it less suitable for recycling. Maybe its true, I'm not sure, but to my mind that's a small price to pay... Painting a layer of shellac on the inside of a negative plaster mould makes separation process easier - and strengthens the plaster.
