prinmel Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Has anyone used polymer clay to make molds? What I am thinking I want to do is use a polymer or fimo clay cause they don't dry out and make a mold that I can then peel away and use again for some other shape. I know there are kinds that are flexible and are baked to cure but I want to be able to reuse. Anyone have any thoughts on this idea?

nursenancy Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Interesting idea. I have lots of fimo. It's amazing what you can do with that stuff.Def worth a try! Let us know how it works if you do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallTayl Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I would be concerned about the uncured Fimo material leaching into the soap. RTV silicone would be a bit less$ oz for oz, and most likely much safer. Just MHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asheebeans Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Polyclay's not very flexible, but if you just want a small mold, the moldmaker for polyclay is nice! It's a two-part putty system that you mix, mold and set. Then you have nice flexible and reusable molds! I got mine at Pat Catan's, but I'm sure they have it at Hobby Lobby too.

WillowBoo Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I found those pans for bars in Walmart. They're individual compartments that I use for my M & P. YOu have to make sure the soaps are really cool though to get them out. Sometimes I have to tap with one of those soft hammer things.
