Can you use this with polymer clay?

Yes you can I have used this mold with chocolate, gumpaste,wax,clay,and fondant works well with all I have made a total of over 400 of these babies and never had a problem with this mold

Sorry I am using mine for polymer clays, I have not noticed the smell you speak of but also probably not using the higher temps needed for baking.

I wouldn't think you could use it with really hard soil/clay. I have clay also. I do wait until it has rained or the soil at least is not rock hard. But that's with all tools really. My friend borrowed the one I had and I didn't get it back. I do not like to be with out this tool. No more lending for me. Mine was bought at an Estate sale. I am hoping this one last way longer than me.

I use them on Polymer Clay and they work extremely well!!! Ive never tried to polish anything else. For my polymer clay I start at the top and work my way down and the results are fabulous!!!

I don't think you'll hurt the wood but you'll still need some kind of lubricant to act between the clay and wood. You might want to first try some 0000 steel wool.

Polymer clay can react with lacquers and enamels and Tamiya is a lacquer based primer. It would also depend on the make-up of the clay. It might be fine or it might not. You could experiment but if you don't want to take a chance then maybe try something else, like you said it can take a few months before going sticky. Anything acrylic or water based should be safe on polymer clay. You don't even need to prime if you clean the surface of any oils/dirt/etc. before applying paint. If you want to have a nice basecoat you could just paint on a layer or two of gesso or acrylic paint. If you want a spray primer Krylon's primer is acrylic I believe so that might work.

Only to about an 1/8 of an inch. It has worked fine for me but I don't do super delicate polymer clay work.

Yes!!!! any kind I am sure will work... You just have to be careful the project is completely dry... And you dont want to work the paint to much. My kids kept re painting the same area and the clay started to absorb the liquid again.

I have no experience with clay but you could do a test run on a different platter and see how that goes. Sorry I could not be of more help.

I used the Loctite on plastic which did not hold due to heat. I would not recommend this to a friend.

I used plasticine to sculpt a mask, then used the silicone to make a mold from it. It works fine, the smooth-on is a liquid so you pour it over the clay and let it dry. I had no problems with the 4 masks I did with it.

You can but it probably won't hold very well. A hot glue gun works well for fabrics.

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.

Not exactly. It depends on the thickness of the clay. The item can be 1" long or 1' long and still require the same baking time if the clay is the same thickness. Refer to the package instructions for how many minutes per thickness and at what temp is required for it to cure without burning.

I seriously doubt it unless it has the elasticity of homemade pasta dough as does Polymer Clay

I have no experience with clay polymers but this thing will stick to almost anything. Now if you use it right, its almost dry upon contact.
