can liquid plastic resin be used iin this clay mold for toys?

I don't understand your question, but here's the process. You sculpt a toy out of monster clay, then you buy silicone rubber for molding, THEN you use plastic resin to make toys out of the silicone rubber MOLDS.

Yes you do. It's pretty cheap. Just spray on and let dry before pouring resin in. If the mold release spray isn't used the dried resin won't come out and if forced can crack. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can. I have done it several times with highly detailed pieces, and they turned out wonderfully! The resin just popped right out with no problem/residue left, so I was able to use the same mold multiple times.

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.

The short answer is yes. The issue comes in on clay is the complexity of the mold and the ability to remove particulates from the mold once completed. For clay I usually make an alginate negative and then a plaster or dental stone positive that I then make my rubber mold from. The alginate does a great job in retaining the detail from the original that is translated to the stone. As far as release agent you can use a standard release or just an aerosol cooking spray (Pam or whatever). Some have used things like vaseline but I don't like the thickness as it is hard to keep it from pooling in crevices and hard to get out and may interfere with detail. But if your part is smoother you can apply a little to your hands, warm it up by rubbing together and apply a very thin layer and that will work as well.

I am sure you can. I made Halloween "eyeballs" using gelatin/ chocolate etc. and the mold worked great.

I don't think there would be a problem. If you have a master fondant figure head, you should have no problem making a mold with this putty if you're using casting resin or epoxy putty or anything that cures chemically.

Yes indeed you can. Actually that is its most common use. I would recommend using a little bit of mold releasing compound if you are going to be casting detailed pieces. I average about 15 really good resin pieces from my molds when using this product.

check out the silicone molds from freshware, they have a 1/2 sphere dome that is 1" (not sure if you're looking for smaller) I work with resin and love their molds (they come out nice and shiny), I don't think I'd bother trying with this, probably better luck just finding a cheap chocolate mold in the half dome and releasing by popping in a freezer after the resin cures.

Don't think this is good idea because even mixing a small amount (1/2oz) could produce heat reaction..You should always use the correct harder with the correct resin.. They are all different..

I don't have much experience with this product. I've only tried it once with poly clay pushed in the mold. It reproduces well, but isn't very strong and will tear if you're aggressive with it.

I don't think so. I think you'll be blowing more air bubbles in, however (I don't know what you're doing with the resin but) you could probably heat up the resin to a molten state and physically probe the air bubbles out with a rod.

Liquid Cement For Plastic is designed specifically for plastic models; joining polystyrene to polystyrene. It has a precision metal applicator needle for detailed work.

Yes...But. If you are using other resins that are low to moderate heat releasing, then yes. I don't see why you would have any problem. I have used 3 different resins without any problems whatsoever. I don't know that I would use straight fiberglass resin tho because I have had some that generated pretty high temps in the curing process. However, this is silicone rubber mold and it is rated to fairly high temps (I believe) so it should handle even the highest heat curing resins. Just don't know how the integrity of the mold would react. I can see where if one part of the resin cured more quickly it could cause the mold to bend or flex and result in a molded part not coming out to the correct dimensions. Might want to review the temp specs and make sure that the resin you are using generates heat within those specs.

the reason I use poly clay is because it doesn't harden like molding clay. It becomes firm, you can'f adjust shape, but it is plyable enough that it doesn't break if i drop it. It will break if you put too much pressure on it. A lot would depend on how fine of pieces are you making. If it i a long piece that is only 1/8 th inch it may not work..but if its a piece that is 1/2 inch or more I would think you won't have problems.

you can but i would not recommend getting these. It is somewhat difficult to make a mold that is somewhat of a tightfit and if u try to remold it too many times then the material just breaks down and you wont be able to use it anymore.

Absolutely. Similar, but cheaper, pottery tool sets have plastic pieces, which I really wouldn't recommend. No plastic tools in this set.
