Clay and composite insulator matter once doing experiment?

Hi all,
Im newish to clay modelling, and have a few questions im either not finding the right answers to...or coming across conflicting

information.
Id appreciate it if someone can answer my some of the questions for me....

I am using AIR-DRY clay and composite insulator. I am choosing to let this dry naturally, and then intend to create casts from

the figures and reliefs i create.

Clay and composite insulator matter once doing experiment?
1. Can i oven bake this clay, even after is started to air-dry? At 275 degrees? I am worried about cracking and damaging..
2. What is the best way to mould sculptures in air-dry clay? At the moment im thinking about using Mold Max 30.
3. Does anyone have any links to good tutorials regarding making moulds of figurines made with air-dry (or similar)

clays....each one i follow i end up with more questions. (such as, when i have my mould....what is the best way to make it keep

its shape, after ive taken it off the sculpture?)
4. Ive seen some information which discusses cutting a mould in 2, and creating a replica that way, but im not finding details

on how to achieve this correctly.

Thanks in advance for any information...
