Best Flexible Urethane Rubber Molds can be used with Hot Glue to create your own clay Stamps for polymer clay! - HOT GLUE or UTEE Stamp MOLDING - You can create clay stamps using hot glue or UTEE in the shallow molds. To stamp the clay using your hot glue or utee stamp, dip the stamp into a bit of water or powder to prevent it from sticking to the clay. Hot Glue: Fill the opening by slowly squeezing the glue into it covering the bottom of the mold. If you are getting air bubbles, go a bit faster or slower to eliminate the bubbles. UTEE: Pour melted UTEE into an opening. When cool, remove and add a hot glue stick handle if desired.
Choose an appropriate opening in your mold, the ones that are more flat than rounded work best.
When the glue is cool, remove the molded stamp from the mold.
Cut a small piece of hot glue stick, about one inch long. ![]() Using the tip of the hot glue gun, melt the one end of the piece of hot glue stick onto the back of the stamp.
Stamp with handle.
To stamp the entire image, press all of the parts of the stamp into the clay, rocking gently to imprint the entire stamp into the clay.
