    I have had the edges of my clay turn brown while cooking at the right temp for the minimum bake time on more than one occasion. This and the fact that dust seemed to be attracted to my clay no matter how much I cleaned made me give up on trying polymer clay again. Although, I have a few gifts that I need to make that includes things made from this stuff so I need to try it again. This time I am not going to use white and I am going to try that tent idea you suggested. Thank you for the in-depth tutorial.

    I’ve just recently begun working with polymer clay and was getting a bit frustrated with how hard the clay was. I did return the Fimo Effects and exchanged it for Fimo Soft which made a big difference! I also purchased a small bottle of clay softener and that really helped me out! I’m curious about the use of translucent clay. I bought a large block of that and found that I could use a ratio of approximately 1:4 of color to translucent and it seems like a great way to make the small block of colored clay last longer! Anyway, I’m a new subscriber and wanted to thank you for all of your tips and tricks!! 💜

    One thing i do to soften clay is put into microwave for about 3-5 seconds depending on the thickness you're working with. It can cook some areas if clay is thick and heated for longer than 5 seconds, heat for 3 seconds to start with a piece at a time and if i want a little softer i heat 2 seconds at a time until it's soft enough.

    I am listening to your video and while listening I was scrolling through all the comments. I didn't see any questions about why so many crafters say not to use sculpy III. I was in Hobby Lobby and that was basically all they had. Another question I can't find an answer to is when you are new to clay how much do you cut off a new block when you are going to try making something like earings.

    • @RokoleeDIY
      @RokoleeDIY  11 місяців тому

      Hi! I haven't used SculpeyIII myself, but it seems like it's a soft clay that is a bit brittle after baking, according to what I've seen. This will make it easy to work with, but not great for anything too thin or anything with sculpted details for instance.
      To know how much clay to cut off a block, you really just have to guess. I would condition a bit more that you think you'll need, as you can always store that excess clay and use it for a future project. Thanks for watching :)

  • @joycehoopes3524
    @joycehoopes3524 2 роки тому

    What a wonderful introduction to using polymer clay. I am so pleased to have found it not long into my actual attempts as using the products rather than just looking at them and longing to try. I do have two related questions about baking that I didn't see covered.
    1. Once the clay has baked for the recommended time: do you leave it in the oven to cool down with the heat turned off or do you remove it to a protected area outside the oven?
    2. I will be using a small oven appliance to bake my items. When the door is opened even for a very short time, the temperature drops dramatically. Is it better to put items into the oven when it is turned on, then start the timing once the temperature is set, or open the door of the hot unit and wait to set the time once the correct temperature is set? Again, leave it in the turned off unit or remove the items, still on their baking surfaces, once the time has elapsed?
    Thank you again; I am now moving on to your other tutorials with absolute confidence that they will be as well prepared and shown as has this one. Joyce

    • @RokoleeDIY
      @RokoleeDIY  2 роки тому

      Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video!
      I just leave my baked clay on top of my oven to cool after baking. But it won't hurt the clay to leave it to cool in the oven, it'll just take longer to cool.
      For point 2, I think either would work honestly; I leave it until the oven is up to temperature :)

    Excellent thanks. I've just got into polymer clay making little models. The one thing I wanted to know was how many times I can add bit's after baking. This was very informative. One thing I do want to know is, what sort of paint is best to use on polymer clay? I'm using sculpey oven bake clay. I haven't used it yet and the models I want to make have quite a bit of detail work. Like hands, feet, eyebrows and facial expressions.. I'm basically testing it first but I'm wanting to paint them afterwards. Great information from this video. 😊

    • @RokoleeDIY
      @RokoleeDIY  7 місяців тому

      Sorry for the late reply! If you're going to repeatedly bake the clay, you can part-bake each time, and then fully bake the last time. You just have to be careful baking it too much if it's a light colour/white because it's possible so much baking could slightly discolour it. Shouldn't be an issue though. I believe you can also part-bake clay with a heat gun to do it quicker as you add details, but you'll still need to fully cure it in the oven at the end :)

    thank you so much, I had last worked with fimo 30 years ago and it seems my gran did teh conditioning for me, so I was so puzzled when the clays were so crumbly and I had feared that my clay was "dried out" or too old or something... this video gave me all the information I need to get back into it (next project again, making "gargoyles" for my electric intallation point plastic covers)

    Thank you so much for this most informative and precise video covering everything about Polymer clay!!! I have a query related to baking, you mentioned that dont bake food alingwith the clay project, however after i finish the Polymer clay baking.. should i clean the oven for the fumes residue for future food baking? Also what are your thoughts on using oven safe bags ( used fot turkey baking eg - Reynolds)? How would that work? Thanks in advance🙏

    • @RokoleeDIY
      @RokoleeDIY  5 днів тому

      Thank you :D
      I imagine oven safe bags would work, but I haven't tried them so can't say for sure. I don't clean my oven after use; I just leave the door open for a bit to air it out. The main thing is not to use any baking trays etc for both clay and food - no contact should be between those 2 things. Some people who bake clay a lot get a separate desktop mini oven (just for clay), so that's an option too!

    This maybe a silly question but when baking your clay do you use a fan oven? Of all the tutorials I have watched no one has ever mentioned this. I think your video tutorial is amazing x

    • @RokoleeDIY
      @RokoleeDIY  24 дні тому

      Thank you :D I personally use a fan oven, but that's just because that's what I own already. I don't think it's necessary, but perhaps it makes the clay less likely to burn? Just make sure you do a test piece first in the oven you have to see how it goes.
