Troubleshooting

Liquid Sculpey is too thick.

Add Sculpey Clay Softener, a few drops at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. Mix well.

Liquid Sculpey is too thin and running out of the mold.

Pour into a cup and let sit out overnight to thicken. Alternatively, bake at a slightly lower temperature for a longer time.

Finished piece is not fully cured.

Ensure the oven temperature is correct. Bake for the recommended time. If the issue persists, the oven may need to be calibrated.

Colors appear dull after baking.

Ensure the product is fully mixed before application. Try adding more alcohol inks for brighter colors.
