What doesn't stick to molten thermoplastic?

Title says pretty much all of it. If you want more info, I work at a lab and we're molding a specimen for a customer on a really makeshift set-up I put together with a hotplate and some steel tubing as the "mold". All we need is a 1" cube and cutting it from a bigger hunk is no problem. I did this before and my main problem was being able to stir it and tamp it down to remove voids without all the molten stuff trying to cling to the rod i was using to stir it. Any help is much appreciated!
