I see how old this is but I clicked on it so someone else might. I've been through these struggles myself and found the best way to get them out of molds intact is to wait overnight.

I posted this question a few years again and I'd like to say thx for the advice it helped alot. I'm at the point now where I sell the maple sugar candy. Christmas is a hot time of the year and I get the odd bad batch but like when I first started. Sold 30lbs of sugar candy this Christmas thanks again!
2017 45 taps 43L
2018 55 taps 50L
2019 60 taps ~75L avg sugar 3.3%
2020 60 taps 70L
2021 60 taps cant remember
2022 60 taps 95L
2023 60 taps 75L New baby came day off boiling started, gave away 1200L of 3% didn't have time.
I tried making candy a couple of years ago, I bought molds, cooked, cooled and stirred and after a few tries got the batch into the molds before it hardened, but then tasting them they had a rubber taste. How do you get past that?
