Crafty Tips:	Polymer Clay Molds are Not Flexible you will need to use some sort of mold release, when using clay to create your project. A simple release agent to use is Talc Powder or Corn Starch. Be sure to brush off the powder before baking your casted piece. Once you've brushed the cavity of your mold w/powder (be careful not to overdo the powder and cover up the design) you are ready to make a casted piece. If you are using an oven baking clay such as Sculpey or Fimo, kneed the clay until soft and pliable before pressing into the mold cavity. Using hardened clay and pressing too hard could cause mold to crack. Using a softened clay insures longevity of your mold. To get your casted piece out of the mold, there are a couple of techniques to use: One way is after you have filled your mold cavity with your desired clay, smooth flat, take a small amount of clay and roll into a ball, gently press to the flat side of your piece and gently pull out, being careful not to distort your casting, trim your piece where needed and bake your clay piece according to clay manufactures directions.
