Baking Instructions 

For Sculpey® III oven-bake clay, preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness. An adult should complete the baking process — do not microwave the clay or exceed the recommended temperature or baking time. 

To test the curing, press the tip of your fingernail into the bottom of your piece after it has cooled — it should leave a mark without entering or puncturing the clay. 

How Do I Care for Oven-Bake Clay Creations?

To take the best care of your polymer clay creations, make sure to:

• - Use a feather duster to remove surface dust.
• - Keep the piece away from harsh chemicals when cleaning. Do not place your clay creations in a dishwasher, as heat and water will cause damage.
• - Store your designs indoors. If exposed to direct sunlight, Sculpey® III oven-bake clay will fade over time.
