It's because of Static electricity
Human skin is easily positively charged.
Plastic wrap is an insulator which means it does not allow electrons to flow from one to the other. Plastic wrap is negatively charged and human skin is positively charged and opposite charges attract.
They are forever attracted to each other because human can earth electrons (which means making materials all neutral, equal number of protons and electrons) if the electrons are transffered from a conductor (which allows electrons to move freely from one to the other).
e.g aluminium foil. Aluminium foil is a conductor which allows electrons to move freely from one to the other and electrons are transferred to positively charged hands and human earths it, so human is neutral overall and the aluminium foil is positively charged overall.
e.g) plastic wrap is an insualtor which does not allow electrons to move freely from one to the other. and electrons are attracted to positively charged hands so therefore, they cling. And because it's an insulator, it will never ever let electrons transfer to human hands!
So they will forever repeat :)
Hope this helps.

What kind of the plastic material does not stick to ferrous metal after melting?
Assuming the plastic just melts and doesn't undergo a chemical change through carbonization (i.e., you burn it), it shouldn't stick to any iron-based metal. "Sticking" is related to the smoothness of the surface of the mold. If you mold has a mirror finish, you should be able to simply peel the plastic off.
What is teflon?
