Is there a way to harden the clay that never dries?
I wondered if there was a way to dry clay modeling. You know, the kind that is never dry. I just thought maybe theres some way to make it so hard, I can do to keep the model out of it. I hate to use Sculpey (clay can baking), because lately every time I remove the package that breaks as I begin to use it.
You can learn to make molds of the pieces. Depending of what molds could be made of latex or silicone or plaster of Paris This is more than can be explained in one paragraph. Look for some books or classes in the manufacture mold and sculpture. I suggest you ask another question about sculpty. There are a couple of people who are regional distributors of polymer clay. They know more about the clay I polymer.
