Wait for the material to harden and carefully retires it.

Make the finishing, cut the scraps and paint it, if you want.

Have fun!

would i be able to reverse it? like use clay and use that as the cast, then put hot glue into that cast?

I think that it's possible. The clay must be a little more dry, maybe. Try it! Don't forget to tell me the result. :)

it worked OK. the mold was hard to get out so i left a little bit hanging out and then cut it off. the clay crumbled after about 5 uses, but it was worth it!

can you do both sides or is it too hard to do?

Yes, you can make both sides, but you have to make align marks and good oil lubrication between them.

I wonder if you could use this method for doing stamps? Just gluing the hot glue mold onto a piece of wood or cork... hmm, something to try...

I think it would work. Maybe with silicone, perhaps...

hmm, is this borderline counter-fitting?
