Which polymer clay should I buy?

  • Hi there(: I'm new to clay and I want to start making charms out of polymer clay. I understand you have to like put it in the oven for it to harden :o WHICH clay should I buy? Which is best to make charms?:o I know there's some like Fimo and sculpey:O

  • Answer:

    It really depends on the glazes you want. Considering you are making charms you probably want bright colored glazes. Different clay is measured by the temperature it is fried and more specifically the "cone". In my experience Cone 05 has a wide variety of bright neon glazes and it is compatible with all kins(ovens). just make sure you also get the cone 05 glazes or it could explode. Hope this helped!

Fimo and Sculpey are both oven baked polymer clays. They bake at a fairly low temperature,usually around 275-295F. Check your packaging. For charms I would suggest either Fimo or Premo (Premo is a 'Sculpey brand' product. Very strong after baking and comes in many wonderful colours.

That depends a little on the shape of your miniatures ("charms," etc). If they'll be thin or have parts that project very much, you'll probably want to avoid a few of the brands and lines since they'll be more brittle in those situations. And if you want to do the most sharp detail, you'll also avoid those mooshier brands/lines. I think you'll get most of the info you'd want about making "charms" from polymer clay in my answers to these previous questions in the Hobbies & Crafts category (some overlap): http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111003092108AAYpV8Q http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20120101221825AAikqz0 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111015084400AARI94L http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110505215212AAEPrhi and this one on baking polymer clay: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20111224000037AAQSEfC .
