IOD Moulds can be used with a range of mediums and are FOOD SAFE.
For upcycling furniture and craft projects we recommend:
Air Dry or Paper Clay:
IOD paper clay is an air dry medium. Like most paper pulp
based air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent.
We like these qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. You can apply moulded pieces by removing them from the mould while still moist, and
adhering them to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For
vertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it
doesn’t slide.
You can also try Jovi Air Dry White Modelling Clay.
Casting Resin:
We recommend Amazing Casting Resin
Resin has 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.
