modelling clay never gets hard.

Isn't <chenmoH> a real verb? *I* mis-made my mold. I *caused* the mold to not
form correctly. The mold is doing the forming, I am causing it to form
(actually, I caused it to be a frustratingly sticky, gloppy mess that will
probably NEVER form)
this is confusing to me. <Hew Hap> is more like the positive casting material,
the stuff which gets hard and becomes the permanent little ensignia.
How do I clearly indicate the negative mold-the thing-which-forms/the form
(rubbery stuff) that formed around the modeling clay prototype? would
<chenmoHghach>. or <chentaHghach> or <chenmoHtaHghach> work as a noun to mean
"the mold/shaper thing>? I used <chenwI'> to mean "thing which shapes".
The stuff  I actually sculpted  in the first step(manipulated by hand) is
squishy. I was trying to find words to mean "squishy" and another word for the
concept of rubbery/bendable/flexible to describe the mold.
<tun> as soft is inadequate for either of these, especially if I was trying to
compare the qualities. I supposed I could use <Ho'Du'  Say'moHmeH Hap rur> for
the modeling clay, and <to'waQ rur>, for PROPERLY cured silicone, but that
seems pretty weird.
