Question:

Flexible clay molds using rubber cement?

I'm really into polymer clay charms making. I want to make flexible molds, but i don't want to spend $$ on buying the mold putty and stuff. I tried silicone once but i don't like it. Im wondering if you make molds using rubber cement, would it work?

Rubber Cement Molds

Making a plaster mother mold to support the flexible latex mold These are 2 options for flexible molds A rigid mold could be made from plaster - it is cheaper Here are a few choices
No, it wouldn't. Simply because rubber cement truly dries by evaporation. Other mold making materials cure, which is different. You'd need to coat your model many, many times and let it dry thoroughly in between, and even then it's not made for the job. It's awfully soft. Maybe it could be done, but in the end it would be inferior and probably not any cheaper. One coat of cement will be like a sheet of paper, in thickness, after it dries. Maybe less. Spring for the molding compounds and make your life easy.
