If you seal the object with a gloss or other sealer, you'll be able to mold it just fine.

Hydromist would be fine or even piant will be fine as long as you let it sit overnite to dry throughly. Quite honestly if the object your molding out of Magic Sculp, and Apoxy Clay has throughly cured for several days I'm not sure you would even have to seal it. The main thing with Dragon skin iis to make sure component A & B are throughly mixed in their bottles and then throughly mixed together once combined. I have remolded fins which I originally cast out of FinMagic which is an epoxy product without sealing them without difficulty.

You should be fine.
I have a friend who does some very elaborate sculptures out of Apoxie sculpt and sculpey and then molds with Dragon skin and rebound with no issues.

The main thing to watch for is Sulfur. so use non sulfur clays and keep it away from latex.
Never use latex gloves with dragon skin the dust will cause the silicone to not kick. Always use vynil or nitrile gloves.

Also Dragon skin or rebound will not set against tin based silicones like mold max.

I am a HUGE fan of dragon skin and use it all the time, you just need to be cautious with contamination. If it is degassed the molds will last much longer then any other silicone on the market and the stretch you get is unbelievable. so its great for detail spots.

Jknuth, thanks for the response.

I saw some of your sculptures in the archives, and they looked great! I also read somewhere though where someone made one from Sculpey, and the Dragon Skin wouldn't kick because of the interaction.

I am just covering my bases, because I have put a lot of hours into this piece so far.

Thanks.

As long as the sculpey is baked it should work fine.

Here is a link to my friends site and a sculpture he just finished. He is a Dragon sculptor here in Wisconsin and shares a studio with me.
This dragon was sculpted with Apoxie and Sculpey then molded with rebound and Dragonskin. Rebound is basically a thicker harder dragonskin. Same base chemicals with additives.
