I want to make a footprint ornament from clay. Would this work for that?

I wouldn't use this clay for anything. Period. I've worked with various types of clay and this is by far the worst. If you want the ornament to last without cracking, use Sculpey or Fimo. While those do need to be baked to cure, they will also last a lot longer.

I am like the rest and have not worked with clay. I feel that the first couple coats will soak in and if the clay holds it's form I feel it will work well for several uses.

Perhaps, but it would be thin and may not produce the best form/mold. But if you made a hybrid mold with plaster and then the silicone for the detail sure.

Possible? If you had something to seal it with after. Depends on the way you treat it too. I use it mainly for polymer clay and seal with glaze.

I bought them for pmc and polymer clay pendants and they're good for jewelery sized shapes.Michael's crafts should have a few too to compare size in person.

I've used plaster, and wood putty, as well as polymer clay and resin, and every one of them came out just fine. If the mold would have an easily accessible place to remove the item being molded, it will most likely work just fine. The only issue I had with the quick-set rubber was that it could be stiffer than others and eventually break. If you're only making one copy, you'll be fine. More than 10 copies if it's intricate, you may have a problem. Other silicone rubbers might do a better job for the more intricate items if you're making multiples, but otherwise you'll be fine.

well, Ive never used it for permanent outdoor projects, but my guess is that it would hold up. It cures to be as hard as resin, much tougher than a polymer clay.

Technically you can use any clay on this, but for the purpose of casting you would probably want to use an oil based clay like Monster Clay, J-Mac, or Chavant. How much clay is up to you and depends on what you're sculpting, but you could probably get away with using a single 5lb tub of Monster Clay, a single 10lb slab of J-Mac, or a 1/4 case of Chavant. And yes, the skull is life size.

Yes this should work. My packaging opened in the box but otherwise this will work perfectly for many clay needs.

I covered these blanks with polymer clay which should have added some strength to hold its shape. It did not hold. A thicker blank would most likely be better for your project.

I think so. I took a polymer clay class and the teacher used this to glue tiles onto a picture frame then baked it!!

You should do a test section on the plastic to see if it will bond to it. This glaze is intended for Sculpey or Fimo clay, but I have bonded these clays to surfaces such as canvass, wood, snow boards, skateboards and surfboards and it has always worked. But some plastics are really glossy and the glaze may not adhere to it...it will either peel off or come off easily if you scratch it with your nail. Another option if you are bonding the clay to plastic: use the Sculpey glaze on the clay parts only, then switch to using RUST-OLEUM Ultra Cover -GLOSS CLEAR (Home Depot) it bonds to most surfaces and looks the same as the Sculpey glaze, you will not see a difference. This combination has always worked for me. Good luck!

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.

I have used a small, handheld torch (Blazer GB4001 Stingray Butane Torch) on this clay with good results. This will do earring or pendant sized objects.

Most likely. I used it to create a large rock. I suppose it would depend on how big you want the mask to be - but for a standard head I would think you could use this piece. Cutting styrofoam was more challenging than I expected so you would need the right tools.

I use this just for polymer clay. It works great, and it will help protect wooden work surfaces. The grid is great for measuring and cutting with a tissue blade. The clay will discolor the mat a bit over time. I have not tried baking clay while it is on the mat.

It should work, make sure put it right (u have like 5 min to fit the pieces) coz its pretty damn permanent
