When filling the mould, pile the frit in a pyramid or dome shape so the centre of the mould is filled higher than the edges. This helps the correct flow of glass during firing, lowering the risk of the glass 'grabbing' the mould sides as it fires:
See the Small Pod Mould Guide pdf for more details. This schedule is a guideline and you should adjust it to suit your particular kiln, or for different thicknesses of glass:
