Polymer clay for plaster mold making?


Recommended Posts

Hey pot heads,

Does anyone have any experience/advice about using polymer clay for partitioning and sealing when making multi-part plaster molds?  

I've seen both "oil clay" and just earthware used for the same thing, I just have a bunch of polymer clay on hand and wondered if I could use it instead.

Thanks in advance!

As in the oven-bake stuff?   It needs to stick to the master item and any plaster sections already made.  I always use earthenware as it's cheap, but keep it separate and never re-use for firing.  Lives in a sealed bucket, labelled "plaster clay". 

I think it should work, but the only way you will know for sure, is to try it.
