Clay to silicone | FX Calculator

This is a subset of the density calculation.
Select the clay you use.
Select the silicone you use.
Enter the weight of the clay.
The resulting number is the mass of the silicone you need to replace the clay.

The densities used in these drop-downs are collected from TDS where I could find them.
The density of the materials marked with a star (*) are uncertain since I found these in MSDS or on the back of the container. I think they are correct, but no guarantee.

    If the silicone is not listed, but you know its density, use Material to material instead.
    The density is the mix of A and B.

    About the math

    The common trait in all mould making is volume. So we go from clay to silicone via the volume.
