I need the clay to be able to be pored for a mold. Will watering it down work?

Yes it should but if I remember right you are going to want to cover it with plastic so it drys slow or it will crack.

okey. And would adding Spackle help just as to change the chemistry ? I've molded with Spackle before.. But it cracked after about 2 weeks of drying. I should buy the actual silicone material I need but its around $60 for a small container. So I'm going to try everything I can before I buy it

I'm not sure about the spackle. I just remember in high school working with clay and having to cover it so it would dry slow. Al else fails look on YouTube . 90 % of the time if I don't know how to do something that's where I go.

Yeah I've looked but nothing helped. Im trying to take a hard peace of clay that has been baked and take it and push it into another block of clay so I have that imprints but it doesn't come out easy the wet/soft clay sticks to it

I would he's some clay dust see it that works

Why not use plaster?

Cement

Cover it with a layer of silicon sealant (out of a gun is cheapest)
This takes a good mould. then if its bigish, maybe a plaster of paris outer layer to support the silicon in the right shape later.

And if you are having mould release problems a good dusting of talcum powder first works wonders.

I didn't water it down I just covers the Swimbait in cooking oil and pressed it in.
