Yes definitely try Fimo or Premo. You will be very happy with the results! Just so you know, Premo is my favourite because the colours are based on the artist pigment palette and mix with predictable results. But Fimo is a quality product as well, so it's your choice as which is better for you.

Hi Alyssa Nuguid, yes you can add colored clay to translucent to make colored translucent clay. You need to be careful not to add too much or you'll lose the transparency. You can use alcohol ink instead if you wish. Just add a little at a time till you get the color you want. Let the ink dry before mixing in tho, or it will get sticky. Have fun!

Hi superkitten211 and sweetcharmsdelight, thanks for commenting! There are lots of ways to soften clay, some of which sweetcharmsdelight already suggested (though I don't recommend you use rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to soften clay). Sometimes however the clay may be partially baked and impossible to recondition. In that case you can usually mix it into soft clay as an inclusion and still make some neat beads. Go to my blog (link in description) for more ideas. Good luck!

Hi Penny Marsh, translucent clay is one of my favorite polymer clays. Although it isn't completely clear, it is semi-transparent and allows a lot of light into it, which makes colors looks wonderful. If it is thin enough it can be quite clear and makes a great glassy and protective layer for many techniques such as my Faux Labradorite technique. Go to my blog (link in description) and do a search on translucent clay and you'll see all the cool things you can do with it!

Hi TaeKeyLove00, generally Kato Polyclay is firmer than most brands, but you will find that all the brands can have inconsistencies with firmness. It depends on the batch, how fresh it is and how it was stored. I have bought two blocks of the same color clay, at the same time and had one block very firm and one block soft and squishy. As a clayer, you just need to learn how to deal with it, by leaching or softening... depending on what you need.

Hi AnthiemRose, I baked all the samples for one hour because I have found that they are much stronger when they are baked for longer than the package says. You are right about Sculpey discoloring if baked longer... but if you don't bake long enough it breaks (as you will see in the "10 minutes is Not Enough" video) These are a couple of reasons why I like Premo WAY more than Sculpey. I can bake it long enough to be strong and it won't discolor if you tent it. Watch my other videos to learn more.

Hi miirandaatje, those 'wierd stain bubbles' in your Fimo Translucent are often called Moons or Moonies by the claying community and are caused by a process called plaqueing. Basically it is a small separation in layers, usually caused by moisture. Fimo does that more than any of the other brands. It actually is a benefit when making faux stones because it looks more realistic. To minimize them, keep your hands dry and don't overwork your clay. Thanks for commenting!

Hi Nino, I've done lots of tests so I know it's true. Baking Sculpey III for 15 minutes will break. Try some test samples yourself & bend them back and forth, you'll see how easy they'll snap. The pieces you use it for are probably designed in a way that they aren't very susceptible to breaking in the first place. For example a round bead is most likely not going to break because there are no pieces on it that would bend. But a little figurine with thin arms would break. Try it, you'll see.

Hi MitsukiChanEtc, Fimo bakes at a much lower temp than most of the other brands of clay. Although I do like to bake my pieces longer than the time it says on the package, I always bake that the temperature that it says. If your clay is discolouring, it means your oven is too hot. It sounds like the dial on your oven is wrong (most are), you need to get a separate oven thermometer to make sure that your oven is at the right temperature. For more baking info go to my blog. (Link in description).
@creativesea.design8 жыл бұрын
This is a very interesting comparison, thank you for all your videos! One note I have is that I tested a very very old piece of Fimo Transparent and even on the thinnest setting I wasn't able to break it. It is true that it might have been in a batch I baked at a higher temperature (new oven and no over thermometer at the time). I guess I need to test more this idea of baking at higher temperatures, because almost all my old clays (some 6-8 years old), softened with baby oil, turned out very very strong (it did darken them, though).

Hi Crafty Moon, Clay burns only when the temp is too high. Not because it is in too long. At the right temp you can bake most clays for hours and they won't burn. (Some brands like Sculpey III might get darker but they won't burn.) Get an oven thermometer. That will tell you what temp your oven is actually at. On my blog (link up above in description) you can do a search for 'burning clay' or 'baking' and find tons of info on baking that will help you. Hope that helps!

Hi randommeghan, translucent clay is a little bit see through, so it lets more light into it. For a lot of the Faux techniques like Faux Jade for example, the stone has a transparent look to it and you can see some light through it when you hold it up to a light. Using translucent clay makes it look more realistic and less flat. Get some and try it out... you'll see why people use it. Have fun!

The other thing I found and for me, a deal breaker, is the difficult and lengthy conditioning process. Geez ... Kato took a long time to condition and due to that, I returned 18 packages of Kato clay and will stick with my Premo. LOL. Thank you again for your video.

Yeah the problem with Sculpey III is that if you don't bake it longer it will definitely break. One of the worst for breakage on the market. It does however discolor the longer it is baked. You can minimize that however, if you bake your Sculpey III pieces buried in a dish of cornstarch or baking soda. I suppose I could do another video of this type with times closer to the recommended time, but you'll be surprised at just how weak the pieces will be. Try it yourself you'll see what I mean.
