Materials Needed
Molding compound F14-2244BS
Cat face cabochon F14-6043CB

Instructions
1. Take equal amounts of part A and B of the compound and mix together. The “purple” color should completely mix with the “white” color, to form a lighter purple – when there is no striation or differentiation between the purple and white, you know the compound is thoroughly mixed.

2. Roll the mixed compound into a ball and press into a pancake shape. Thickness should be level and even and of the correct amount to cushion the item you are molding.

3. Press the item to be molded firmly and evenly into the compound; keep the item level. Allow the compound to cure. You can test to see if compound is completely cured by pressing your fingernail into the edge; if it leaves a mark it’s not cured. If no mark remains, compound is completely cured.

4. Remove object. Your mold is complete. Molds can be used over as many times as you’d like.

5. Press whatever molding medium you wish to use; Art Clay Silver, Kato Polyclay, salt-yeast dough, etc. into the mold. Work according to the material – allow Art Clay Silver to dry thoroughly before removing from the mold, polymer clay can be removed immediately, etc.

6. When ready, remove your object and finish according to directions for the material you used in the mold.
Suggested uses for molding compound: Vintage buttons you want to recreate, fragile items that would break if used as an impression or mold, etc.
