Baking Cernit Polymer Clay:
1. Cut off a piece of Cernit. Always work with the clay using clean hands on a clean surface.
2. Preheat your electric oven to between 110°C and 130°C / 230°F and 266°F. Do not use a microwave oven.
3. Bake for a maximum of 30 minutes.
4. After baking, your Cernit Number One creations will be solid yet remain flexible (depending on the thickness of your creations). You can still work on them: sculpt, sand, paint, etc. Cernit clay has the highest gloss after sanding.
How to store Cernit clay once opened: We recommend storing your Cernit clay at room temperature wrapped in wax paper and then placed in an airtight container. Be careful not to let the Cernit clay come into contact with PVC, polystyrene, or expanded polystyrene.
