So happy you advised us about Sculpey III. . I had purchased a lot of it and was able to return it for something else!!!!

I am a seasoned clay artist i just found your channel, I am very impressed. I have been using Kato for 10 plus years, I started out with it, and i have not used any others... lol i was kinda afraid too try them. Yes I do love the primary color because i don't mix my own colors. Love and light!

I am still using that clay. Thank you so much for the tip because I was starting to think it was me who couldn’t work with polymer clay properly. Or that I needed some type of tip or a machine or something to help condition the clay better.

This was SO helpful! Thank you! I made my first batch of earrings this week. I experienced some discoloration and struggled with working with my clay. after watching I realized it’s because I was using Sculpey III! Now to buy the brands you recommended! Will you make a video showing you making a pair of earrings from start to finish? I would love to see your process, and each step explained throughly! 🤍🖤

I used to have this problem as well, and I figured out I wasn't baking them long enough. I would suggest baking for 35 + mins. Fimo clay will become very felxable, super scuplty reacts in a different way and I wouldn't recommend using that brand for jewelry. Different brands have a different reaction to baking times and heat just make sure you are baking according to instructions.

Nine month late but I’d also love a video about this. I use Fimo soft since I can’t get my hands on anything else right now, and I find them breaking no matter how long I bake them. I’ve baked for 30 mins as the package says - they break. I bake for 45 minutes - they break. And yes I bake on the right temp, though my oven isn’t very good at keeping the temperature, it diffs 20 C up and down during baking 😕

@@user-yx2cn7dn6c Hey, i use fimo soft and premo to make jewellery they are both amazingly flexible when baked however you need to condition them properly. If you dont condition them well enough the polymers wont bind together and they will just break.

Thank you so much for the video! I tried Souffle and Kato and I fell in love with Souffle and I totally hate Kato. With the Souffle you don’t need to sand the peaces after baking because they look awesome and also there aren’t bubbles (it was a little bite sticky because the weather in Spain is super hot) with Kato is just the opposite. Bubbles, fingerprints, super hard to extrude... and I tried everything to avoid the bubbles and fingerprints, even working with 1 tile on top to make pressure and cleaning the surface after baking with pure acetone but the result was unsuccessfully! Thanks again! :)

Kato makes truly _immaculate_ canes, though. You honestly won't get a crisper, sharper finish from any other brand of clay.

Hi Lisa! Also if you make canes or embroidery looking pieces you will want a firmer clay. You will have less distortion as you reduce the canes and it's easier to make those thin/small pieces in the embroidery pieces. Blessings!

Great video Lisa! Thanks for sharing!

Fimo Professional is the first clay I used, and I love it. The pure colors are great because I can use their color mixing formulas to get the exact colors I want every time. It bakes up great too. It also plays well with other brands of polymer clay. I definitely recommend trying it. I’ve tried the others, but I always end up going back to Fimo Professional. The Fimo leather effects is pretty cool too, but the colors don’t fully blend because of the fibers.

I almost ordered the amazon kit but found some soufflé at my local store! I didn’t even watch your video prior to this, but I actually brought the right types of clay for the most part! Can you please share more about this conditioning solution? I have firmo and I actually like how firm it was after baking but it was so difficult to mold which is why I didn’t want to purchase it anymore. But if I have a conditioner maybe that will help. I didn’t see any issues baking with firmo/looking plastic (could’ve been my color selection) but I will keep an eye out!

Thank you for these video!! Could you possibly do video and show us how you make including bake and after cuz since I’m try and still break my earring I did more that twice on bake and still is something I missed??

Thanks for such a detailed breakdown of the qualities of these clay choices 😊 I am a Premo girl, your video has given me the inspiration to try souffle! I've found Fimo to be both crumble AND sticky at the same time. How?! Needles to say, no Fimo for me lol I completely agree with your take on Sculpee original. It's like trying to work with frosting! I was wondering, with your tutorials, you mention clay conditioner - a lot. My question is, does it compromise the integrity of the clay itself? My thought is it may weaken it. What are your thoughts on it? Thanks again 🌹

I found out that Sculpey products use animal ingredients which makes them not sustainable but Kato and Cernit are animal cruelty free hence why they are tougher than other brands. I recently made the switch to those 2. Having said that sculpey is working on a line that’s free from anima ingredients.

Linda's Art Spot has a good collection of just about all the clays demonstrated, even the metallics (cernit has some beautiful new colors!)

Have you tried fimo soft ? It says it's used more for jewelry and has a leather feel . My Michaels used to have souffle which is what I discovered that I liked the most , but now they only have Fimo soft which one of the workers told me was the replacement .

I've just started using clay and did lots of research on baking and whether a clay should be flexible ... apparently they will be flexible because it is a plastic ... however if the oven temperature is right and it is baked long enough with a tile in the oven to stabilize the temperature it should be ok for jewellery. I bake for one hour in a convection oven at 160C and I've had no trouble with discolouring or bubbling even with really cheap clay. I plan to coat my clays in clear two part resin to make it super strong. However, the handling of some of the clay has been super soft and sticky ... no good for canes.

I am newbee. Are these clay or contents in it toxic? should I use dedicated oven? not mixed with for food purpose. Thanks a lot. Love your channel.

From where do you get your sculpey Clay? I didnt find any website where the clay was available🙁😔

In my country the "default" clay, that's easy to get in every hobby store is the brand Cernit (sometimes also FIMO), I assume cause that's European (like me), while Sculpey I assume is American. I remember even using Cernit as a kid (though that was probably from some of their softer kids line).

How much super sculpey is a good amount to mix with premo and does it change the color of the original ?

I bought super sculpy living doll by mistake , what should I do now ? I am a beginner jewellery maker . Can I blend it with souffle or cernit to make jewellery??

Can you provide a link where you get your Kato Polyclay?

Can you mix sculpy 3 with better clays and be able to use it?

What about original sculpey I bought some in bulk and I have premo in colours on the way if I mix the two should I be okay? I’m worried about it being brittle I have so much of original sculpey too in plain white
