Star cracks in the mold

Hi all,

HELP!!! I've got a few star-shaped cracks in a sit-on-top deck mold we had made for us. I don't know much of anything about molds, so this is a bit un-nerving for me. The cracks are pretty much all over the mold. They seem to be lifting up a bit too. I'm affraid that one of these days, a big piece will come off with the removal of the boat.

What can I do? Does the whole mold need to be reworked eventually? What does that entail?

Much thanks for any advice!

Dave
