Clay/Sand Stay-Hot Cups on Hotplate

Recommended Posts

I finally got around to doing this.  The borosilicate 4 oz pouring cups work well for 3 & 4 color open pour molds.  Wanting to keep the cups warm to extend open time, I molded this hi-heat sandy clay in a griddle with lid.  Keeping the molds warm on the flat griddle really helps the colors blend slightly “fuzzy” instead of sharp defined lines.  Just getting started; will update after more use.

Because I’m using 1/2 cup beakers the plastic stays 285-300 degrees until I’m finished; about an hour.  I love it.  The lid really helps so it’s on as much as possible, such as when de molding.   I heat the top of the sand/clay with heat gun and it’s cuts universal heat-up  time considerably.
