Liquid clay as a glue? Does it work?

Thank you for doing this. We need more people myth busting! 💜

Pro tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

@Matias Wesley Definitely, I've been using flixzone for since november myself :D

Thanks for putting so much work in, this is very useful as a reference. It saves us all tons of time (and money) testing all these products. To be fair to the products, bonding does not always mean a permanent unbreakable fix. Many of the samples you pulled loose were clearly bonded, you wouldn't get them to come off by say shaking the objects. Most materials shown are pretty hard to glue anyway, so if you really want things to be hard to pull off, you may want to try using some types of epoxy. They should be able to deliver the tough chemical bonds you were looking for. Thanks again for the vid!

The point of making this video is that many beginners try to just stick polymer clay onto a glossy surface, when that does not work and the item pops off after some use, they get the advice to use some liquid clay as glue. Liquid clay is nothing more than polymer clay ( and polymer clay is vinyl) in liquid form and will also pop off after some use. Even if it did not immediately pop off "with some shaking." It will pop off and that pretty soon. So the point of the video is to spare beginners from losing a pretty pendant because the bond was not a good one. Also, if you take a look at the whole video, especially at 10:51, you will see a reference to a website where you can find out all about glue and polymer clay. Besides that, in the description, you will find links. So I am aware of glues that do work with polymer clay and I was not making the video because I was "looking for the tough chemical bonds". The topic of polymer clay and glue is quite complicated, so it is really better to read in the video recommended material. The strongest bond you will ever get though is a mechanical bond.

@@Hobbyrian I see, well the video is a very good summary of all these liquid glue types and what to expect and more importantly not expect so you nailed it. And yes, things will break after some use if only using liquid clay. I did watch the whole video, but skipped through some parts, so I missed the website you mentioned - my bad.

Thank you for demonstrating what I always thought, "how can liquid polymer clay adhere to non porous surfaces when regular polymer clay does not?" And I guess for some art pieces that will not be handled or worn, liquid clay can be enough. However, I focus on wearable items and I'm always looking for that bond for all eternity.

Can u use liquid sculpey bakeable medium to glue to pcs of clay together

[@Hobbyrian]

There is no single product with that name. Bake and Bond are now called Oven-Bake Clay Adhesive but it is still the same product. I think what you are thinking of is just another liquid clay, if so, yes you can use it.

[@9bunta]

Hi, Could i ask clay liquid can be air dry? Thank you.

[@Hobbyrian]

No. It is polymer clay in liquid form. It needs to be baked.

[@reecehall527]

I’ve looked everywhere for Fimo liquid gel and can’t find it anywhere? Do you know where I could find it?

[@Hobbyrian]

Usually Hobbyrian has it but it has been out of stock at the manufacturer since October.

Excellent thank you for sharing x

And thank you for taking the time to watch it :)

Would pva work too? All these look like pva.

[@Hobbyrian]

It is not PVA and neither works as a glue to glossy surfaces.
