Polymer clay and silver

Paul, I did this recently and it turned out quite well. you can
actually put the clay into the setting and bake – i had no
shrinkage. i used sculpey premo but i’m not sure if that’s the best
one for this. anyway i’m told that baking it for 45min is better
than the usual 15min. (between 275 and 295 – use a digital
thermometer and check your oven’s fluctuation during heating.)if you
are using light-colored clay, cover with tin foil to prevent
browning. Please let me know how yours turns out. i’m also
interested to know if anyone can tell me the moh’s hardness of baked
polymer clay if there is such a thing. some clays bake harder than
others of course. but i’m wondering if it’s harder than, say,
turquoise? Thanks, Lois lois@thorlabs.com
