Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Preparation: Clean and prepare your work surface. Ensure it is smooth and non-porous.
Conditioning: Soften the clay by kneading it until it becomes pliable. This makes it easier to work with and reduces cracking.
Molding: Shape the clay according to your design. Use tools such as sculpting tools, needles, or your fingers to refine details.
Baking: Place your creations on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for temperature and baking time.
Cooling: Let the baked pieces cool completely before handling them. This allows the polymer to fully harden.
