safety concerns
Wotcher
as some of you know im attempting to create ocarinas out of polymer clay, but before i do i was just wondering about the mouth piece (thanks to Diane Black of www.glassattic.com for pointing out this concern to me) is polymer clay safe to have in contact with a mouth. although it says non-toxic i havent seen anyone making mugs or things with clay so i figured id ask and see what is said before i poison myself Heiko Thanks again Diane |

out of polymer clay, but before i do i was just wondering about the mouth piece I wouldn't suck on it for hours, but PC is not toxic, especially after baking. False teeth use a form of PC for the gums, people have them in their mouths daily for years. The BIG reason not to use it for food is that bacteria will grow in any little scratches and grooves, and its very pliable when hot, and soft enough to scratch even when cool. It won't hold up to really thorough dishwashing over time. I have an ocarina mask that was sent to me--don't remember if it was Emma Ralph or someone else that made it, but its very cool, tootles well.
