Some
Basic Information:
Sculpey III, Bake & Bend, and Amazing Eraser Clay
should be conditioned before using. To condition, roll and squeeze
each color in your hands until the clay becomes soft and pliable
and an even consistency.
It's important to bake projects for the right amount of time and
at the right temperature. Once your project is complete, follow
these baking instructions for each type of clay:
Line your baking
sheets with aluminum foil or index cards when using them to cure
(bake) polymer clay projects.
Always assist children during the baking process and never touch
a clay project until it is completely cool. You should use an oven
thermometer to make sure the oven temperature is accurate. Overheating
polymer clay can cause it to become discolored. In the case of Amazing
Eraser Clay, the eraser may not erase well if it's over baked.
Good working surfaces include a large piece of glass, wax paper,
marble, or an old baking sheet. It is important that you not place
unbaked polymer clay on any good furniture surface. Do not use everyday
cooking utensils with clay if you are going to continue using them
for preparing food.
