Project Instructions
    Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey®:
Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured Liquid Polymer Clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately. - Stir Liquid Sculpey® completely. Thin with Sculpey® Liquid Clay Softener as needed - Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best)

    Baking:
  • -It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
  • -Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures.
  • -If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes.
  • -If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it by using aluminum foil over your project.


Here’s a tip for baking perfectly in silicone molds. Dampen a dish towel with water and wring out as much of the water as you can. Fold the damp towel so that the molds can sit level on top of it. The damp towel will slow down the curing process so that the LS will cure evenly throughout and avoid warping.
Fill the Silicone Mixing Cup to the 10 ml line with Fuchsia Liquid Sculpey® (LS).
Add four measuring spoons of White LS and stir in completely.

Fill just the top two leaf shapes with the LS mixture. Tap the mold on the work surface to release air bubbles.

Add four more spoons of White LS to the remaining mixture in the cup to lighten the liquid.
Stir completely.
Fill the middle leaf shape. Tap the mold on the work surface to release air bubbles.

Stir completely.
Fill the bottom leaf shape. Tap the mold on the work surface to release air bubbles.
If you have left over LS, you can save it by placing the cap on the cup. When the cup is emptied as much as possible, bake the cup to cure the residue and then peel the residue out when the cup is cool. Do not bake the lid or stir stick.
