I'm pretty sure it bonds to masking tape. you cover the thing you want in tape to give the glass strength. use the green tape so it's easy to get off the mould

When I made the mold of my hatch interior, I covered the area in masking tape, then put aluminum foil over that just to be safe from any spot I might not have sealed well. I did the fiberglass mold and just had to peel the tape off the carpet, then pick the tape and foil off of the glass. Most of it comes off fine but little pieces wouldnt come off well..
The tape is really there so that you can pull the mold away from the area you're covering in glass, since the resin will glue on to whatever you're molding.
Also note, hardened resin will not come off of anything, make sure you mask around the area to avoid damages from drips.

it will stick to anything that it can.
use duct tape if you really want to be on the safe side.
