Bakable Transfer
& Color Medium
Translucent
Liquid Sculpey (TLS) is liquid polymer clay, and it opens
a whole new arena for artists and crafters alike! It is a
bakable transfer medium for the new millennium! When artist's
oil paints are mixed with it, it can be an enamel, a glaze,
or a backfilling compound. When pigments or mica powders are
mixed with it, it can be a stipple, a metallic glaze, or a
grout for polymer clay mosaics.

TLS
is a fantastic transfer medium, also. (See Project
page). It is a terrific adhesive agent. Its adhesive
qualities are activated only after baking. It increases
the clay to clay bond between raw layers of clay, and
when adding raw layers to previously baked layers. Baking
temperatures are similar to solid polymer clay, but
translucence increases when the temperature is bumped
to 300 degrees for a short period of time. This technique
takes careful attention and a well calibrated oven!
See
the "Getting
Started with TLS" project and Sculpey
201 for the basics. New uses are being developed
every day!
