I have not had a chance to test this yet, so asking here to see if anyone has given this a go and had success or a fail.
I am thinking of using Kinetic Sand as a filler in my molding instead of the more traditional clay/Plasticine. The compound that binds the sand is not supposed to stick to anything, but will it cause a reaction or prevent RTV silicone from curing? I learned the hard way that an air/moisture curing silicone reacts with the chemical silicone I use to make my molds.
I found a YouTube video where a guy used Kinetic Sand to mold a part from molten alloy. In the video he noticed that the sand became more 'liquid" at the high temp but it held its shape well enough for his cast to work.
Given the time and sometimes mess you can get from using traditional clay/Plasticine, I was wondering if this would work for RTV silicones.
