Do you mind sharing how thick was was the sheet before cutting it into shapes? What setting did you use in pasta machine. And yes, thank you for the tutorial.

How do you know how long to bake your clay? I have not worked with clay since high school. So about 30 years. I've just started crafting again and just happened on your channel and was excited because I hadn't thought of working with clay.

Well thank you for watching! I bake mine at 275 Fahrenheit for 25-30 mins. That’s exciting you’ve decided to work with clay again! It’s so therapeutic. ❤️

Hi! Thank you so much for the tutorial. My slab came out really sticky and couldn't get it through the pasta machine. Do you know why would that might be? Also do you let the acrylics to get fried before mixing? Thank you💜

@greatestoftheseco7473

10 ай бұрын

I’m sorry your clay was too sticky! So a few things you can do to help with that in the future. I like to allow my acrylic and liquid clay to partially dry. Another thing I will do if I’m working with a particularly sticky slab, is throw it in the freezer for about 10 mins. This helps to somewhat harden it, so it’s not quite as sticky. It could also be the type of clay you’re using. Cernit translucent is a lot softer than Sculpey Premo or soufflé. I stay away from Sculpey lll because it’s not easy to work with. I hope this helps! 🫶🏻

Hi, thanks for this tutorial, most of the content creators don't show the translucent liquid clay portion, but I think it is important and you talked about it, will it help the pieces to not crumble after baking? And is it very important in this process? I'm a beginner and I'm collecting all the infos that I can before starting this as I'm creating a list of products to buy.

@greatestoftheseco7473

Hi! It does help hold the pieces together before and during baking. Think of it as a sort of adhesive. You can do this without it, but your pieces may be crumbly, when you cut into it. I hope this helps! ❤️

You say 275* for 25 minutes. How thick are the shapes? My premo says 30 min for every 1/4" so I would think for 1/8" that I half the time? Is that wrong?

I followed this tutorial and sadly the pieces all crumbled apart, like all of the little bits of clay never fused. I conditioned and pressed the clay together as best as I could. Any advice? Total newbie over here!!
