Silicone Mold - Faucet

Add a charming vintage-industrial detail to your mixed media or sculpture work with this silicone faucet mold. It's sized to produce a faucet head that's perfect for statues and figures around 24" tall — a fun, unexpected embellishment for larger pieces.

It shines with our Powertex Universal Medium mixed into Stone Art or Powersmooth air-dry clay — mix up a batch, press it in, and you've got a custom detail piece that matches the rest of your project. It also works beautifully with polymer clay, plaster of paris, and resin. Just keep in mind that Universal Medium doesn't adhere to resin, so a resin casting is best finished and painted with resin-specific products rather than PUM.

Cheryl's tip: Lightly dust the mold with cornstarch before pressing in your clay — it helps everything release cleanly. Press the clay into the mold, let it start to set up, then carefully pop it out and let it finish drying on a nonstick surface (you may need to flip it partway through so both sides dry evenly). Because our air-dry clays shrink a little as they cure, this gentle approach keeps the detail crisp. Once it's fully dry, paint it with Universal Medium or your favorite paints and attach it to your piece.

What you can do with it:

• Cast a faucet-head embellishment in Stone Art or Powersmooth air-dry clay, polymer clay, plaster of paris, or resin
• Add authentic vintage-industrial detail to statues, statement pieces, or home decor accents
• Reuse again and again — the flexible silicone releases cleanly every time

Tips:

• Dust lightly with cornstarch before pressing in clay for a clean release
• Let the piece begin to set before popping it out, then finish drying on a nonstick surface, flipping as needed
• Paint air-dry clay castings with Universal Medium or your favorite paints once fully dry; finish resin castings with resin-specific products instead
