Default Newbie looking for help with polumer clays

Hi everyone, I am new to the scene of polymer clays and have a few questions
that I hope some of you might be able to help me with.

I have been using Fimo Soft to create my wine charm product that I hope to
market to local stores one day soon - it is very easy to use and requires
virtually no manipulation to create the charm. However, I have run into
come difficulites as of late.

I am trying to find the best products out there to do the following:

- Glazing - I have been using the paint on Sculpey glaze - works fine but
tends to take alot of time to complete. I have tried out some sprays to
quicken the glazing process, but they are not going so well. Is there a
product out there that I can use to glaze the baked clay that is faster than
the paint on glaze?

- I am also looking for a marker/paint pen that I can write on the baked
Fimo with and not have smear once the glazing goes on. Does anyone know of
a good mix of products for either of these two problems?

- Bulk Fimo orders - I have recently received my first Bulk Fimo Soft
shipment from a Supplier in the US, and I am completely unhappy with the
product. The Fimo is exceptionally dry and takes me 10 times as long to
maniplate to get it to a consistency that I can work with. Does anyone know
of a good supplier that I can contact?

Thanks for all your help,
