Question about baking 2 different clays
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 Kato? Or does the time difference for baking make it inadvisable to bake an object with a core of Sculpey III for 30 minutes or more? I'm afraid it might either a) crack, or b) release toxic fumes. Thanks for your responses, Martha |

It's fine to bake it longer than 15 minutes..and yes, you can use it for
bead guts, however if you cover with Kato, you need to bake at the Sculpey temp. If the S3 temp is lower than 275, there is a chance that the Katoclay will not cure properly. Kato will cure from 275 up to 300 (Farenheit) Barbara Bead & Polymer Clay Votary There is a very fine line between a hobby and mental illness.

Both clays say 275 F. I will go ahead and try it. I sure hope there are no
fumes because right now opening windows here in New England could be hazardous to one's checkbook :-) I'm so glad somebody is out there besides spammers! Thanks for the reply.
