Hi guys, it's Cindy Lietz, your Polymer Clay Tutor.
In today's PcT Product Demo, I'm going
to show you how to use ImPRESSive Putty,
and what ImPRESSive Putty is, is a
one-part reusable mold-making putty.
So it's kind of a silicon type molding
putty that you can reheat and use over
and over and over.
Now, a lot of you... if you worked with
polymer clay before, you probably have
the typical silicone mold. I've got a big
drawer full of them, I just brought some
of them out and there's tons of them out
there, and I love to use them.
You may have also made some of your own
silicone molds like these ones here,
which were made with a two-part silicon
putty, and they stay permanent, and you
can use them over and over but they take
up space. And if you mess up, you can't
really redo it but the thing... the cool
thing about the ImPRESSive Putty, and I'm
going to show you some of that. I've got
some already made into molds and some
I'm going to reheat for you.
The cool thing about the ImPRESSive
Putty is that you can melt it in the
microwave, get it all soft and then press
whatever you want into it. And I've got a
variety of different things that I've
used in the past, and I'll show you how
to use them.
I've even use chain for these molds here,
shells, and old jewelry, leaves, lots of
cool things, even some cut glass. I have a
piece of the mold putty stuck to here which
I'm going to peel off in a minute. But
you can press whatever you want into the
putty and make molds that you can mold
your polymer clay in. Now, it comes in a
package like this with... Now this is a
six-ounce size, and you can... and it's got
a little teflon bag here that you can
keep everything in. The putty, when it
sits around for a little while, gets oily
and here's a bag here where I've stored some of
the molds, it... the oil all kind of
comes to the surface, so whatever you
store it in, you're going to want to make
sure that it's something you can seal up.
But it also comes with a little bottle
of what do they call it, activator. But
basically, it's oil drop, a type of oil
drop that you add to the clay if you need to.
So you put it in this little bag and you
heat it in the microwave. I'm just going
to put mine in a dish, I've got a
couple of old molds here that I'm going
to re-melt down, one of the shell one of
like a Playmobil part here, and this one
was just when I was fooling around, making some dots
and things in it. You can use this stuff
for making a dimensional molds or
texture plates whatever you want. I'm
just going to put this now in the
microwave for about... you can usually
do it at about 15-second intervals, I happen
to know that it takes about a minute in
my microwave but you'll have to... you'll
have you'll have to test that out.
Because depending on how much you have,
how warm the putty was in the first
place, how strong your microwave was or
is, all kinds of stuff, you'll have to
test to see when it's about right. I'm
going to let it run the minute and
then I may have to heat it a little bit
more but I'm just going to show you some
of the samples that I've made. Now, like I
said, you can... you can press all kinds of
items into it. I decided to be kind of
cool to make my own chain mold so I've
got a whole bunch of different types of
chain that I found in my studio. I found
some ball chain that I just pressed into
the clay. This colored chain that I got
from Michaels I pressed into the clay
here and I'll actually make another
sample, and show you how to do that.
I have a different piece of chain, where
is it, this kind of chain here with some
gears and things on it that I pressed in here.
This one was another chain, this ropey-looking one
is actually the handle on this brush
here from my extruder. So I just pressed
that into the clay, got this really cool
ropey texture and then the other one is
just a superfine chain. Let's just check this out.
Alright, as it gets pretty hot you might
want to leave it in the bag because it
will kind of help. You can see it's
already starting to melt because it's too hot
to handle, the teflon will kinda help
you with manipulating. And I'm going to
have to... I can see that it's softened up
really well, what can happen here if I'll
throw it into the bowl here and let it
cool off. Here you have this putty and
it's kind of an oily putty and in about
a minute or so, it starts to cool down
depending on how hot you got it. Then you
can start working it, if there's too many
lumps in it you have to heat it up again.
So let's just let this cool, it's a little too
hot to touch, can't just touch it now. So
I'll let that cool and show you a little
bit more. Now, if you go to heat it up and
it's getting too sticky,
you can add a little bit of drops, they
tell you to add it right away but I
found that mine was getting a little too
oily if I added drops every time I heated it up.
So I just add it if I think it needs...
if it's getting sticky.
Here are a couple of molds or I'll grab a
paper towel, sorry about that, what you do
if the mold is been sitting around and
gotten too oily, all you do is just kind
of dry it off. The mold or the oil
actually helps release the clay, this is
a two-part mold that I made using a
Hosta leaf. So let me just show you that,
dry that off a bit, that's the one thing
I don't really like about the clay is
that... or this putty is that it gets
really oily but other than that, it's
really cool to be able to keep using it.
Let's see if this is cooled down a bit,
yeah it's starting
to cool down enough, just about. I'll let
it air out a little bit longer.
Oops, too hot in the middle. OK,
alright, back to this leaf. I... this is
obviously dried out because I made this
a while ago but I saved it to show you. I
took some of the mold putty, made a slab
of it, stuck a Hosta leaf onto it,
something that had a lot of texture on it
and put another section over the top
like that. Now, around the edges where the
clay stuck together, I just cut it with
some scissors or a knife so that I could
separate it and then it peeled right
apart after it was set. But here I've got
a two-part mold that I can take some
clay and I'll just grab some clay here.
Oh here, this is a little softer, I can
roll it out and I can press it into that
mold if I want to. So I'll just roll it out a
little bit so we have a piece. I would
spend a little bit more time at this but
you can put it right inside the mold and
then put my other piece right on top and
it'll fit together quite nicely, and you
can end up making mold or clay pieces
that have the texture on both sides. Now
I'd probably use a little bit thinner
piece but see look it... doesn't that look so cool?
There's the texture on both sides and
it's very organic-looking because you
use the real leaf to make the mold so does...
it has a really cool look to it.
Alright so let's see if this cooled down enough.
Yeah I think so, alright. Alright, so when
it is cool enough to handle but still quite warm,
what you can do is you need to knead it
and you want to make sure that there's
no lumps. It looks like you have a
foreign object of some sort, I'll just get rid of that.
You want to make sure there's no
lumps in it and the oil will kind of
come to the surface so then you can do whatever
you want to it. You can take a chunk of
it like this and I like to roll it in my
hands and then make it really really
smooth on the top, so that you don't have
any creases. And tuck it underneath if
you want to try to get rid of any
creases, and then just kind of smooth it
out because when you go to put... push your
item in, so whatever you pick, a seashell
for example, you can just press it right
into the mold like that and if the... if
there's no creases on it, you'll have a
nice smooth surface on there. So I like
to push the mold up around the edges so
it hasn't pulled away. And then
you let... you have to let it sit for a
while. If you don't let it sit long
enough, it'll... you can see it's kind of
still sticky and gummy, it'll pull off
and do some funny things to your
piece, so you want to make sure that you
let it sit until it's cool. Now, you can
always pop it into the oven or the
fridge if you want, oven?... sorry, the fridge or the
freezer, if you want to cool it down a
lot faster. You can also roll it out like
I did with this one, you can take it and
you can roll it out with a Brayer and
then press a bunch of other items into
it like I did with the chain and that
kind of thing. So with the chain, I like to
make sure that the it's kind of
straightened out and that you've got
them going straight up and down and
straight sideways, if you know what I mean.
If these ones are coming straight
up and down, then you can get a decent
mold. Now, you don't need a mold release,
it'll release quite well from there
once it's set. If I try to pull it out
now, it will all be kinda gummy. Now, the
cool thing is, is you can try whatever you
like then because if you go and you try
something in it, the mold ends up looking
kind of stupid and you don't think
you'll ever use it, or you kind of
messed it up, all you have to do is reheat it,
it takes one minute, you reheat it, melt,
knead it back up, and you're good to go
again. And you couldn't do that with any
of the other two part molds, if you mess
it up, you messed it up for good.
So that's a one really cool benefit. Now,
once it's been sitting there for a while,
I took a piece here and stuck it to
a piece of cut glass,
I'm just... it'll just peel right off, see
how cool that is. So I've got a kind of cut
glass pineapple kind of shape there and
so this starts getting really creative.
You can use this for all kinds of
different projects, you can do medallions
and a cameos, and all kinds of cool
things. So let me just show you how
to use like this mold here this little chain mold.
OK, so let's just grab a piece of clay,
it's already warmed up and when I'm
doing with the chain, I like to make it... it's
thin, thinner than what you would think
so something like that is good, and then
actually the Teflon bags work great. You
can just press right down into the mold
with the bag because your finger will
slide along easier but I'll show you how
cool these molds work, and this would be
cool for any kind of steampunk type thing.
Oops I stretched that one out a lot.
See that? See that cool chain there? And
like you can do this super tiny ones
or the ropey ones, here's one here we'll do.
You could do all kinds of neat Bezels
whenever you want.
See that? Look at that tiny tiny little
detail of that tiny chain, and you could
wrap that around something, you can
highlight it with Mica Powders, all kinds
of cool things. So I hope you like that.
This product is made by the same people
that do ComposiMold, which is also a
reusable product. I'm going to be doing
a demo on that, it behaves
differently but you can do some really
cool stuff with it as well. And if you like
that, I'm going to make sure to put links

these social sites. And if you have a
product you'd like me to test, a
technique you'd like me to share,
something that you would like to learn
more about in regards to polymer clay, make
sure to leave those suggestions in the
comments section below and I will do my
