I make melt & pour soap, and I've been looking for an easy way to make soap dishes to sell with my soap. I need ridges or bumps in the bottom of the dishes (glycerin soap shouldn't sit in water), so I read about polymer clays, and I'm wondering if I could use Fimo or Sculpy to make some simple soap dishes out of. Do any of you know if these clays would work for that, if I waterproofed them with a varnish of some sort?

Any comments would be very helpful, as I haven't worked with the polymer clay before...and I need to know if I can't use it for that too. :-)

Thanks!

FWIW, I would use something other than the Sculpey III since it tends to be brittle and break easily after baking.

Best wishes!
