This is for my dollhouse miniatures Will it work with clay (like Sculpey)? Re: melting, can you give me a temp range ? Thank you.

this is not anything you would bake, it is used to keep items from rolling off/out of a space and break. I have used this for art glass pieces that sit on one another and virtually do not move or slip.

I used it with a Weller soldering gun to repair a leak in a stainless steel pan. It worked very well. The type of iron/gun that you need will depend on what you are soldering since you need to raise the temperature of the item to the melting temp, but it should work fine.

Basically the answer is no, it won't get hot enough. These were designed for melting lead for bullets and fishing weights. Pewter can be melted as well.

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

I'm no expert, but I think it would melt if it were close to the heat source, such as on a wall heater. It is made of very thin plastic. I wouldn't risk it.

Are you using the right crystals? They should only be the "hotfix" or have adhesive that will activate with the heating tool. I bought some crystals from the craft store thinking they would work but when they kept melting I realized they actually had adhesive stickers in the back. After that no more melted crystals

Totally great for embossing powders. It's about getting the angle right so you don't blow it all away before it melts and making sure it's warmed up. I would imagine it would melt a cray, just might take longer. FYI don't use on paper glued together. Seperates them.

Yes! I used it with candy melts and was able to do a lovely job the very first time I used this mold!!!

nope aluminum melts ~2200 F this only gets to 600-800F. Its perfect for lead or pewter, but for aluminum you need a potter's kiln or a propane/coal furnance. check out youtube for some cool DIY can furnance.

I'm sorry I didn't bake the mold and I didn't use it with polymer clay too. I just use with fondant and its doing great

I have used it on porcelain items that were broken and it did work wonders. I'm not sure how old the pottery if it's clay based, it may not work that well, but I had broken platters/plates and I used the glue and it worked beautifully. Let it set for at least hours for best results and before you wash. I would not put the item in a microwave; as flammable glue.

You can any heat to melt plastics...that said be aware that you are causing toxic fumes to be emitted when you do it. If the sheeting is to thin it will likely wither away when heated up, but if thicker, yu could fuse it. Do it outside and consider a mask t protect from vapors.

I mixed it with Bee's wax to use in potting guitar pickups. The Bee's wax has definitely got a lower melting point, but in order to get it all melted I believe it was at around 200f and took quite a while for to amount I was using to completely melt. Note, I didn't break it up into really small peices though, which would have sped things up.

I have only used it on canvas or other art surfaces (including wood). Sorry I can help you. Perhaps the manufacturer could help you if you could advise them of material used to make the doll. Good luck.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

Pvc or plastic? I'd be concerned about melting rather than cutting. Try it on a small piece before investing in much material you may not be able to use.

The Glue stick package says: "Use in high and dual temperature glue guns that require a standard diameter glue stick."Set time 25 - 30 seconds.My dual heat gun is set on high - 380 degree F.But the low would give 248 degree F. I really haven't tried low. Either of these temperatures will seriously burn the skin.I think your choice depends on the material you are bonding. If the material has a low melting point then use low.
