Who has good recipes for homemade air dried clay. Not for molding, but to use IN MOLD?? I read recipes but never know if I can use them in silicon mold. Help please.

The silicon mold should be NO PROBLEM--- just like the silicon in the kitchen-- in baking pans etc. -- NON-stick ... your air dried clay should pop right out of the mold when it's all done drying out. Good luck!

I have made Silicon molds and used them for molten metal solder so any air dry dough or clay should be fine. Sometimes it is better to not let the dough dry in the mold because it dries faster and you can stamp out multiple pieces from one mold. Plaster or wax would need to harden in a mold.
