Create durable, refined pieces with Cosclay Translucent polymer clay.
Cosclay Elements Translucent polymer clay, available in 226 g loaves, combines flexibility, strength and originality. Its particularity lies in its translucency, which allows light to pass through and gives a subtle, elegant finish after firing. Like all Cosclay clay, it remains highly flexible once baked, limiting the risk of breakage, even for the finest, most detailed creations. This innovative clay is equally suited to artistic projects, DIY jewelry and delicate figurines. Available in a range of hardnesses, Cosclay clay softens under the heat of your hands and can be reused at will as long as it hasn't been fired.
Insufficient firing will cause the clay to become brittle. The elasticity of the piece after firing varies according to its thickness: the thicker it is, the stiffer it will be. It is possible to sand the piece after firing, but this can leave marks due to its rubbery texture. It is therefore preferable to polish gently with water. Cosclay clay can be painted with acrylic paint.
Directions for use:
- Before starting, knead the clay well to make it supple and easy to handle. You can also cut it into small pieces and warm them slightly in your hands to soften the clay.
- Use the clay on a silicone base to avoid damaging your work surface.
Cosclay clay bakes at a relatively low temperature (between 120°C and 135°C). Check the manufacturer's recommendations on the packaging. - Preheat oven. Bake the clay pieces for 20 to 30 minutes, depending on their thickness. For small, thin pieces, the baking time will be shorter, while for thicker items it may be longer.
- Do not bake on a metal plate. Use a baking tray covered with greaseproof paper or a silicone mat to avoid any chemical interaction with the clay.
- After firing, polymer clay can be painted with acrylic paints. If you want a glossy or protective finish, you can use a suitable varnish.
- After firing, allow the pieces to cool completely before handling.
- Cosclay clay should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct light, to prevent premature hardening.
