How can i mold plastic at home?

There are various kinds of *plastics* that can be changed in shape (usually after warming or even melting, but there are also plastic “clays,” pellets, sheets, etc. Since I don’t know exactly what you want to be able to do (and if you always want to use molds, and if so how smooth and exact the molds have to be, and which plastics you might want to use in them), it’s hard to say much more. There are a lot of “toy” “models,” for example. You can check out some of the plastics that can be shaped though at my site. My site is actually all about “polymer clay” (Premo, Fimos, Kato Polyclay, Cernit, the various Sculpeys, etc) which is basically a raw thermosetting type of plastic. Polymer clay can be shaped in virtually any way you want (including using in molds, and molds can even be made from it), then hardened at low temperature in a home oven for 15-60 minutes depending on thickness. Because it’s a thermosetting plastic instead of a thermoplastic one, polymer clay can never be reused aft
