For baking, you may use your home oven. There are no toxic fumes released. If you plan, however, to make it a regular thing I suggest purchasing a toaster oven dedicated to sculpey clay.
Very GOOD note saying to let it completely cool before handling!! I made the mistake of messing with it while it was still hot. What happens it its EXTREMELY soft when it comes out of the oven. I also found that you should condition the clay EVEN when it seems already soft (some clay does) You will always have better results when conditioning. Also, if the clay has to sit for longer then a day, it should be reconditioned having lost its conditioning from sitting. Thanks for sharing this video! ☺

To keep clay from sticking to the rollers, use a couple of sheets of wax paper. You may need to adjust your settings slightly so that the clay isn't rolled to thin. If the clay piece is too large, it will stretch out beyond the rollers when flattened. If it looks as if your piece is going to do this, reverse the roll and pinch off the excess.
NekoHoshi1010 Polymer clay has to be fired or reach a temperature over 250 degrees Fahrenheit to fully cure. You can achieve this with either a home oven or a toaster oven. Polymer clay is not the only clay on the market, it is just the one highlighted in this video. There are also ceramic clays, air dry clays, foam clays, and modeling clays. You can visit our website for more information on other types of clay. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542
How long do you have to put the clay in the oven,and would clay softener make the vlay easier to use/mold?
Shadow Killer Sculpey bakes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes for per ¼”. Keep in mind that other polymer clays bake at different times and/or temperatures. You can find this information on the packaging or on our website. Yes, you can use the clay softener to make it softer or more workable. However, use it sparingly as too much can cause the clay to not harden properly. If you would like additional assistance, please feel welcome to contact our Product Information team at 1-800-933-2542
We are using a cutting mat as the work surface.
@aeropostaleXgurlZ Hi - actually to make a color just mix two colors of the same type of polymer clay. It is never recommended to mix paint into polymer clay or bake acrylic paint.
These people put out fantastic tutorials!! Thank you for all your help!
We had a problem with storing the clay in a plastic container, it melted it. This would have been useful information to know in a tutorial like this, as well I would like to know how to tell if you clay is done if the shape is irregular, like an octopus,,making the cooking time harder to determine.
Yes - a toaster oven is a great option for baking polymer clay.
my clay gets dirty really easily i washed my hands and then opened a brand new block of yellow clay but as soon as i pick it up i notice it gets covered in dirt and i have no idea how this is happening.
@chibixcandy It is toxic, but you can clean the oven easy enough, just crank it to it's maximum temperature for 30 minutes or so, the chemicals will burn away.
@leslieclapper Thanks for watching!
Can we use the everyday oven for baking..??
Does it release any toxic that will get into the food we cook later in the same oven?..
Is polymer clay water resistant after it has been baked?
My handle keeps falling off and the clay is not coming out right it is going from the middle where u put it the it goes around on on of the cylinders or one of the rollers and not coming out .....is there anyway I can fix this
The pasta machine is completely optional. If you want to roll out the clay without a machine, you can use a hand roller.
excelent video, i had no idea you could control the consistency
apply vaseline or baby oil if your clay is cracking
wow that video helped me a lot thank you so much
Is there any type of clay that doesn't need to be put in the oven? Or is there another alternative for an oven?
I have some very authentic looking arrowhead and spearhead reproductions that were obviously made with polymer clay. If I wanted to make duplicates of these, how would I go about it? Would I need to make a mold?
im new to this so do you bake before you glaze or just glaze it
can you mix acrylic paint into the polymer clay to make a certain color and then bake it?...I know that you can mix acrylic paint with air dry clay but im wondering if polymer clay can handle that...
Thankyou for making this video.
Are u using a silicone baking mat as your work surface?? I have seen someone else doing that, but I worry about what would happen when you use a sharp blade on it.
I would like to ask you if we can mix sculpy III with premo or premo accent? or use it as a basic bid and cover with slices of canes made with premo, premo accent or Fimo? I would appreciate if you answer to my question, thank you.
+citronelle spriz Yes, you can mix brands without issues. Do take into account the baking temperatures and times though, as they do vary slightly between brands. Use the baking instructions for the clay that is primarily being used. If you have additional questions, you can reach Blick Product Information at 1-800-933-2542 or info@dickblick.com. Thanks!
I bake my polymer clay in atoaster oven ,but my toaster oven only has one place to put the rack and it is 1 inch away from the heating thing will it cuase any damage to my clay charms?
@8u8u8u8u19902 All the products in this video are from Blick Art Materials
Can you use this to make hair jewelry? If so, will it discolor or rub off at some time considering the products that may be in ones hair like oils or hair spray. Thanks a lot
if I mixed a pinch of plasticine and a lot poly to make a color would you b able the bake it?
this helps a lot! thanks
No - do not mix polymer clay with any other type of clay. It is important to use the same product if you are mixing colors as even different products within the same brand may have different properties and may not mix well.
Excellent video. Could I use a toaster oven dedicated to clay work only?
my clay cracks..
can you tell me why?
and what must i do?
@BlickVideos
How do you sculpt a three dimensional diamond?
how can you store the clay that you open but do not use?
Good info. Thanks.
@daniqua11 Yeah, you can but you don't bake it :) If you use Play-Doh, let it air dry! Flipping it over after each day 'til it's completely hardened :)
I love your videos, I subscribed.
@54CFC Yes

I heard polymer clay is toxic or something (well it has chemicals) and that you have to have only one oven for it or else it will affect your food that you bake in the same oven.
I put my clay in the micro for one minute can I do that
Great video but could use a better monitoring from the Blick people. Several good questions are going unanswered. Where are to responses.
sometimes its that you bake it too long, but other than that im not sure
Use like a Tupperware or a basket: poly clay does not dry out, you have to bake it
I love watching your polymer clay videos but you never talk about charms or dollhouse miniatures :(
no if you did not condition that is probaly why
I HAVE THE SAME MACHINE :D
i used makeup wipes to clean my hands
I have stains in my carpet from my clay... XD
she kinda wastes a lot of clay........
but will she make more videos???
Maybe you didn't condition your clay well enough ;)
Me too! Lol, oops!
This video is 4:20 minutes long
Do you have to wipe down your oven after baking clay
According to the official Sculpey polymer clay blog, it's perfectly safe to bake according to directions in the same oven where food is prepared. They do recommend cleaning your oven periodically: blog.sculpey.com/where-to-bake-polymer-clay
