Hi Does anyone have any experience with Puppen Fimo? And if so, can you tell me it's characteristics ... say as compared to Fimo Soft or Fimo Classic or even Prosculpt? I checked the GlassAttic but there wasn't much info that I could find on this clay. Thanks

I'm debating whether to sell off my Ornament Magazine collection (it's a BIG one). I'd like input (via EMAIL please) ( ) about any interest there might be. I'd be willing to combine issues (3 per auction) to specific interests if contacted beforehand, but given the amount of...

Hi, I've been reading through various posts in this ng, and would like to make a thing or two, out of some durable clay, in a few various colors ( but the color thing may not be critical, at this time). But I would like to know which clay I can purchase in bulk, at a good deal. Is it this Premo...

Hi y'all! I'm putting up lots of auctions, clearing out some space here in the studio....what sorts of polymer clay items would potential bidders like to see go on the block? Here;s a link to what's already up, thanks for any help and guidance in advance! http://snipurl.com/aiid Sarajane

Hi, I've got a bunch of Sculpey III blocks and scrap, but I don't use it. I'm using Premo and Kato Clay. Sculpey bakes for 15 minutes and the others for 1/2 hour per 1/4" My question is, can I use the Sculpey III for the innards if I'm covering beads and other stuff with cane slices of Premo or...

Hi, all. I have a question about baking between tiles. I want some perfectly flat pieces, and I thought the best way to avoid an possible distortion would be to bake them between tiles lined with parchment. The clay will be about 1/8 inch thick. How long do y'all think they should bake? Should...

Well, actually two questions. One, How do you store them? Do you wrap them in waxed paper or some other sort of paper and store them or do you do something else all together. And two, how do you slice them? I have seen people talk about freezing them and then slicing. If I were to use this...

Is it really necessary to have separate cookie cutters for clay and cookies? I am curious because I would like to make some shapes that are best made with cookie cutters, but don't have a whole lot of money to be throwing around atm to buy all new cookie cutters for my polymer clay. If I wash them...

Hi all, I have a question about earring weight, or lack thereof. I've made some cute earrings but the clay is so light when baked (specifically Premo) that fish hook or French wires lift right out of the ear. I know I can get those little rubber plugs to put on the earwires, or use a different...

I don't know if my last message posted, so I am going to ask this question again. Sorry if this is a repeat. By covering glass in polymer clay and baking it in the oven, won't the heat from the oven break the glass? Thanks, -diceshooter-

I want to attach paper to baked clay, but I don't want to bake them together. Which is the best glue to use for this purpose? Thanks so much, Maddy

Since I am still new to the world of polymer clay, I have a question regarding hand lotion and polymer clay. I have very dry hands, so any cracks in my hands pick up the clay, as well as leave marks..I also have a few places on my fingers where the skin is so dry that it has flaked a bit and left...

Question... does anyone know where i can get a color blend chart for polymer clay. I have seen one but can not find one. I don't know every where to look yet so I am asking you. One day I will make one of my own but until that time I would like to find one. Thanks, Marie

Hello All, It seems I've forgotten things on the material's list for both of my classes -- Solar Plates and Making Fairy Wings. I'm posting here and at all of the other polymer clay forums because of "bounce backs". Fairy Wings -- SCISSORS. (They're a...
