Question 1

What temp does it bake at?

Accepted Answer

I believe the correct temp is 275 degrees F.

Question 2

Can i just air dry it instead of baking it?

Accepted Answer

No, once you finish to model the mass has to be in OVEN BAKING for cure. If you let the raw mass for long term at air , days or months it seems that it would happens to hardening but actually you have to bake it to harden very well.

Question 3

I'm making a very large ball jointed doll and have no idea what clay to use. I'm nervous about what's safe to bake in an oven, like wire and such?

Accepted Answer

For polymer clay, for a large item with articulation, you might consider using Sculpey Ultralight. It's soft, sculptable, moldable, and very light due to its less dense formula.  It comes only in white, but can then be covered with other polymer clay for color or design, or painted on directly.  The other formulas of clay are heavier and more dense, which I feel makes them less suited to large items. Once baked, Sculpey Ultralight is also very carvable. Because it bakes below 300F, you can include all styles of wire (steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, silver, etc.) as well as glass. We don't recommend putting any sort of plastic into your oven, as it could melt, which smells awful and these odors can be toxic. (The Sculpey Ultralight is non-toxic and safe for a home oven.)  Please feel free to send any more questions or concerns, and we're happy to answer them!

Question 4

Is this clay sturdy after baking? Would I be able to make faux coins without it breaking in half?

Accepted Answer

I think you will do fine with faux coins...as someone who has used this product a lot, however I tend to make a lot "bigger" things....I have yet to have something crack or break with Sculpey. Oven-baked clay is truly the way to go for LONG-TERM staying power...I will say however, that this ultra light variety is soft...can be squishy at times (the only caveat as I see it) so if you plan to etch any detailed designs into your coins you may be better off with Sculpey original. Good luck :)
