Another use in mold making: use hot glue to attach cottles (side boards) to the back board when making plaster molds. The slight flexibility of the joint makes release easier. The pros who make fiberglass reproductions of architectural ornamentation use this
technique for both plaster and fiberglass molds.

Was this hot glue??? What kind of glue? You can do the same thing with
tubes of silicone that you can buy to waterproof boots.

Once in a blue moon (that was last weekend) my friend Lucy comes over and we
brainstorm for a bit.
She wanted to make sushi dip bowls to accompany my fish platters as gifts
for her family.
So to make a few quick molds of a shell, I sprayed PAM on the exterior of
the shell and started squirting glue. About 3 sticks of glue per med shell
makes an adequate mold. 4 is better. The dried glue is flexible enough to
release a curved shape easily.
I like them so well I am going to being to produce them.
I had a blast. Lucy got her Christmas gift making done. I got 3 new
products to develop (Bill says I have to take off 6 if I add 3) And, Lucy
owes me some production time later on. hhehehhe little does she know she
might be making 200 sushi/butter dishes.
have fun all

Cool idea - did you get any sticking because the mold was not porous, or did the flexibility make up for that? I also make small molds by press an object into clay and bisquing it, but your method is faster. 'Nita

Hot glue and duct tape.
What DID we do before they were invented??

Darlene,
What kind of glue did you use?
Thanks
