Can you use sculpey glaze with polymer clay?

Can TLS (Translucent Liquid Sculpey) be used as a glaze on polymer clay? Please Help!!?

  • I just bought TLS (it was a little expensive). So I want to know if you can use it as a glaze on polymer clay. And if not, what are good glazes? And where can I get them? And can these glazes be colored and used as frosting for clay food or water for a polymer clay bottle? Thanks!

  • Answer:

    You can put the TLS on the item and bake it, but in my experience, its not shiny or extremely clear. It's good for embedding items in a project...or I have mixed it with colored clay to make a grout for clay tiles (as in mosaic). It takes a lot of mixing and patience. I've read that a food processor does well to speed up the process, but I can't be bothered. I speed it up using the finest setting on the pasta machine. You can also use a bit of oil paint to color it, but too much will bubble and turn undesirable. Kato makes some great Liquids & Gels, but are a bit runny...so test them. You can thicken it up with clay. For a clearer liquid clay, I prefer Fimo Liquid. Since it's difficult to find good art supply stores (that are affordable), I often order items on line. As glaze, to give project a shiny look, I've used clear nail polish (when I was younger and it was just there) and now acrylic gloss or satin varnish. You can also polish baked clay with varying sand paper. Below is a book that I found helpful in the past: The Art of Polymer Clay: Designs and Techniques for Creating Jewelry, Pottery, and Decorative Artwork (Updated Edition) Below are a couple of good shopping websites...
