Can you wear it without destroying it?
Anyway its awesome!
It is quite wearable
Thanks once again
Its really impressive for me to see, whats possible
May I ask you how you bake the rubber-like clay? (how long and the temperature) I work with polymer clay too, but I always baked it the full time, so it gets very hard ^^
Also, it is important how the oven reaches the temperature. Some have steady heat at the level you set and this is best of all. But there are also ovens which heat up to 170C, then cool down to 90 for some time but the average temp is 110. And that is when the clay parishes
I hope my thoughts were clearly expressed )))
Thats very helpful for me
My oven has steady heat. I'm still learning how long I have to put the clay in it's as you say, it depends on the piece too.
You really let the clay cool down in the oven? I always put it out because I'm afraid to overbake it when I left it in the oven. *hmm* I will try this for sure
I found this thing about cooling down in the oven at one site (which i do not remember now). It contained many tests for clay durability, heat resistance, etc. And there was that advice and also a warning not to put hot pieces of clay just after baking into cold water. And i found it all very logical because e.g. if you heat a glass jar up to 110-120C and then put it into icecold water, it will crack. Physics law work for everything
I am glad if was helpful to you
I'm very grateful for this tips it helps me a lot!
