Poll: curing polymer clay in the microwave?
since you are still typing, it sounds like you did not burn it long enough
to release enough hydrogen chloride gas to do you in! That is one of the gasses that forms at over 380F when clay burns--its black, nasty smelling and will close up your throat (your body does not WANT to breath it). I'm glad you are ok---but please dont use the microwave with clay.

"Sarajane Helm" wrote in message ... DO NOT use a microwave with polymer clay. Within seconds you can burn the clay and release toxic gasses. Don't even wonder about this issue----it like having an "opinion" on whether or not to put tennis shoes in your microwave to dry them. (and DONT do that--for the same reasons!!) I've worked with PC for more than twenty years and spoklen with many chemists. DO NOT OVERHEAT polymer clay.
