I want to bake my new Sculpey prototype in one half of my RTV mold. After field testing the first pourings, I have decided to make some modificatons to the bottom half of my original design. It would be helpful to bake it in the top half as this will insure that everything lines up properly when i pour my new RTV bottom half.

In other words, how does High Strength 2 react to being baked at 275 degrees F. for 15 minutes? Is there any danger that the Super Sculpey will stick to the original mold? Do any of you foresee any other problems?

It works beautifully! I do it all the time to avoid having to sculpt the piece again. The High Strength 2 is good to 400 F. So the baking temp of Sculpey doesn't even phase it and it will not bond.

Thanks Mike I thought that would be the case but, better safe than sorry, as my Grandaddy Bob always said.
