Anybody use them for polymer clay?

I have used them for pie crust and fondant. Fondant works on the same principle. You should have no problem.

These appear to be for wood, plastics, soft materials. I have not used mine yet, yhough...

Yes, these are tiny cube-shaped molds. I use mine for hard candies, which is much harder to work with than clay. I push my candies out from the back side...it takes a few minutes, but it works well. Since this is silicon and has no air drying holes, etc., it could take awhile for clay to harden in it, but I see no reason why this wouldn't work. Will pass this idea on to my daughter as she loves beads/bead working. Good Luck!

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 use another brand of scoopable clay that I used to use in plastic boxes. Not Nature's own. And it works well in these.

I've read that polymer clay is best painted with acrylic primers and paint. It seems the Tamiya primer may be to harsh for it. Try it on a scrap piece to see how it reacts.

I have used it with clay with no problem. So far, I have not found a ground make-up that doesn't work, due to it's tapered tube for holding the plugs. Once they are "cut" they are pushed into the tube which is slightly larger than the cutting portion.

Sculpey Polymer Clay has no adhesive quality. But try it on a small piece of stone and see how it responds. I think you will be happy with the results. Just be gentle while handling it and make sure you have a thick enough piece that you are not tearing it while it is in use. Gary

I have never used them for that. I have some scrap pieces, maybe I should try that. I install laminate flooring to some times...

If you can poke a small hole through them, you can use these. I put them on leather so I think you can with poly-blend stuff.

I haven't. I use them as a resist for my etching. They stay on the copper long enough for the acid I use to do it's work, which is usually close to an hour. Hope this helps. Dawn

No I haven't but have used them for the 6 in. Precious Moments dolls and didn't work well. They keep toppling down. Hope this answer helps. Good luck!

Yes! I've used them for the same thickness of plexiglass and they work great.

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.

It usually takes about 20 minutes per quarter inch of thickness. To conserve clay and keep baking time low use balled up aluminum foil and cover with clay to make bigger objects. There are many project books for simple polymer clay projects. If you have never used polymer clay before, I recommend getting one.

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 have. I use these extensively. They work wonderfully. Wish I had bought them years ago.
