Every medium has its own characteristics,\u003cbr\u003echallenges, and virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir dry clay, or paper clay:\u003c\/strong\u003e IOD\u003cbr\u003epaper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favorites. Like most paper pulp\u003cbr\u003ebased air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like\u003cbr\u003ethese qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. Our favorite way\u003cbr\u003eto apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist, and\u003cbr\u003eadhere to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For\u003cbr\u003evertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it\u003cbr\u003edoesn’t slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCasting resins:\u003c\/strong\u003eThere are some great pourable resins available. These have completely different qualities than the paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more consistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you need to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the mould before it’s completely hardened. We strongly recommend using a mold release\/conditioner with resin for the longest life of your mould. Please also ensure you are mixing your resin exactly as directed on the packaging. Mixing resin incorrectly can damage the mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn releases:\u003c\/strong\u003eWe find that with most mediums (excluding resin) a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without the use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material sticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple cornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice. For resin we do suugest using a mold release\/conditioner for the longest life of the mould.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Care For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash gently with mild soap and warm water after use, rinse, and allow to dry before storing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelease castings carefully and avoid sharp tools against the silicone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse a mould release or conditioner with casting resin to help protect the mould; incorrectly mixed resin can damage it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Designs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArchitecturally inspired, symmetrical snowflake designs suitable for paired back-to-back castings, ornaments, winter decorations, and gift embellishments.
