I have just started experimenting with poly clay, right now my purposes are to make models that I will then make molds from. There are many materials to make molds, and poly clay itself is one of them. I found advice on another website about using a mold release on the cured model, pressing it into the uncured clay to form a mold, and baking that in place (so as to avoid deforming the mold by trying to pull the model out while its soft. Maybe that would work but this is what they listed as possible mold releases: 1 Water, hmm, that would evaporate in the oven I guess. 2. corn starch, ok, but I dont have any on hand. 3. ***Vaseline*** !!! I had that on hand and yes,... now my model is glued very well into the mold. Fortunately, I was with it enough to use a throwaway model that took about 5 minutes to make for that learning experience. Thank you for your website. The internet being what it is, its hard to sort the misinformation from the information, keep up the good work. by the way, all is not lost for my attempt. It actually looks pretty artsy to have a poly clay model embedded in a poly clay mold, keys and all. Stephen I also wish I had found your website sooner.

Mario and Princess Peach... and I can't tell you how many times I've munched noses and ears while working on hair!! Thank you for the great tips, I'm still browsing and learning more :) Oh my gosh, I wish I had found your website earlier… for my very first project ever, I’m working on a rather “unique” wedding sculpture… Mario and Princess Peach… and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve munched noses and ears while working on hair!!

Thanks so much for the tips. I would never have thought of using a lazy susan or vaseline.
