Polymer Clay Shaping Tool
Polymer Clay Modeling Tools, It is essential to bake your polymer clay projects at the recommended temperature for at least the recommended length of time for the best results. You need to bake your project hot enough and long enough to ensure a complete cure.
Polymer clay is a popular medium for making jewelry, beads, charms, figurines, picture frames and other handmade creations. You can make just about anything you can dream up with polymer clay. It’s also great for covering and decorating other objects made of glass, wood, metal or some plastics.
It is an oven bake modeling material composed of polymers, resins, coloring agents and fillers. Not a natural clay, it is man-made from a plastic, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) base. Polymer clay is used by artists and hobbyists ranging from children to professional artists and movie makers.
Finished polymer clay pieces will be sturdier than air-dry clay but will not have the delicate brittleness of natural pottery. Polymer clay is a modeling clay with a polymer polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, base. When uncured, it will stay soft at room temperature and harden when baked in the oven at the recommended heat.
Improperly cured clay is very weak and brittle, and susceptible to breaking. Certain polymer clay brands are more brittle than others. These include Sculpey Original and Sculpey III. These brands will break very easily even when they’re baked properly.
Natural Cold Porcelain Clay is a perfect substitute for toxic polymer clay and allows for even finer detail and ease of sculpting. It’s also incredibly inexpensive and super simple to make. The clay is air-dried so no need for baking and it dries to a light weight, luminous, stone-like texture.
