Like you, I've recently acquired a second-hand tortilla press. I've used it several times now for various flatbreads, and I'm not having trouble with the dough sticking to the press. I'm just finding that the result isn't as thin or as wide as I'd like, so I'm pressing out the breads even thinner with my fingers. I do like that the press produces a pretty round bread, and I don't need to use a rolling pin or a bunch of flour on the counter to produce that. Practice will improve results.
