Does Fimo liquid glaze need to be ovened? Or can it dry on its own

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Lisa. If you're speaking of Fimo liquid clay: fmg.co/JEC8Gf , then yes, it needs to be cured in the oven.

whats the average shelving life of these moulds?

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi Muhammad. Depending on storage and exposure to heat, the shelf like could be up to 6 months.

Can you make a mold just out of polymer clay, Christie? Would like to know! I’m looking at making some molds! 💜

[@FireMountainGems]

Hi there Christina. You can make molds using polymer clay. After baking, the molds then can be used with new pressed clay. Just remember to use a release agent if necessary.

Excellent!

[@christinarobin3846]

Water is s release agent, correct?

[@FireMountainGems]

Water or powder are popular choices to use as a release agent for polymer clay. Be generous but remember if using too much, it may clog the mold.

Can I make silicon beads for teething necklaces with this?

It’s not silicon, it’s silicone. They are two completely different substances!
