I would suggest you not worry about it.
It's just the nature of the process of using a press mold.
Even the best applied bead release will crack and flake
off. Just make sure you give a quick swipe with the
brush before you press again.
Any bead release that sticks to the bead can be gently picked off with a
pair of tweezers or brushed off the bead with a butter knife (or something long those lines).
