What is Cernit polymer clay?
Cernit clay is a soft, malleable polymer clay that hardens after baking.
The clay is used to make beads, cabochons and other shapes for costume jewelry, decorative objects and figurines.
Firing Cernit polymer clay :
1. Cut a piece of Cernit clay, condition it gently to make it soft and moldable, either by hand or by running it several times through the clay machine, which will also mix all the color pigments well. Always work the clay with clean hands or gloves 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 30 minutes.
4. Once baked, your Cernit clay creations will be solid yet flexible. If you haven't made your pieces too thick, you'll still be able to work with them: sculpting, sanding, painting,.... Cernit clay is the shiniest clay after sanding.
