cooking poly clay - when is it done? by peter
I followed the instruction and cook the clay for 15 min at 275F. When I removed it, it is still elastic. Does that mean it's not cooked, or does it harden after it cools down? I ended up cooking it a few more minutes until it hardened. But I'm not quite sure if it was necessary.

Sculpy Clay by Neo Hawkeye
When painting scuply clay is it best to undercoate it first or just lots of little layers of the specified colour. I am painting my first model and so far have put 4 layers of yellow on and it is still not solid yellow like I would want. Any advice on painting this clay would be great. neo
