Pre-heat your oven to the baking temperature listed on the package. Use a separate oven thermometer to ensure your oven is reaching and staying at the desired baking temperature. Use good ventilation while baking. If you are unsure of the accuracy of your home oven temperature – run a pre-baking test (see the HOW DO I RUN A PRE-BAKING TEST TO CHECK THE ACCURACY OF MY OVEN TEMERATURE?)

Bake your clay piece on an oven-proof glass or metal surface at the baking temperature and time listed on the package. DO NOT USE MICROWAVE OVEN. DO NOT exceed the recommended baking temperature or baking time. Carefully remove from oven and allow to cool. Baking should be completed by an adult.

Yes, all polymer clay brands can be mixed together. To ensure proper baking, the clays must be mixed VERY thoroughly in order to avoid separation or layering when curing. Use the baking instructions for the highest baking temperature and longest time for your clay mixture.

Yes, all of the clays can be mixed together. Read and follow the baking instructions. When you mix clays with different baking temperatures, use the baking instructions for the highest baking temperature and longest time for your clay mixture.

NO! Oven-bake clays are not formulated to be cured by this method. Microwave ovens generally have hot spots and are difficult to set exact temperatures. If oven-bake clays are positioned in these hot spots, they can undergo thermal breakdown very quickly, and may char or emit fumes.

Oven-bake clays are not an air dry material. They need to be cured in a conventional home oven or toaster oven as they do not require the use of high temperature kilns such as ceramic clays. Follow the recommended baking temperatures and time as listed on the packaging.
