When you don't want to cure clays that harden at a specific temperature in the oven, you can use a heat gun, hair dryer or heat-embossing tool set to the desired temperature. Place the polymer clay creation on a nonstick surface, such as a piece of ceramic tile or block of wood.

Does air dry clay break easily?

A con to building with air dry clay is how fragile it can be. Thin additions like legs, fingers, and ears will easily break off. To avoid cracking, keep students from adding a lot of water to the clay when they make slip. This can be done in the same manner as with regular clay.

Why does my air dry clay keep cracking?

Cracking is normal in air dry clays: it's caused by shrinkage because of the loss of the water inside the clay body. Cracking is often caused by sculpting over an armature or using a lot of water, either to mix the clay or to help it adhere onto a previous layer.

What happens if you bake Crayola air dry clay?

Outcome depends on whether the Crayola clay has been subjected to any number of variables. However, if the clay is in its original form, a low temperature (200F degrees or lower) will hasten drying. High temps can result in burnt clay. Baking Air-dry clays in ovens is nearly an oxymoron.

What happens when you bake air dry clay?

How do you bake air-dry clay? You don't, unless you want to risk cracking from drying "too fast." Air-dry clays harden from the outside in, and they also shrink while drying. If the outside areas shrink more quickly than the inside areas, cracking can occur.

Is air dry clay waterproof?

Many air-dry clays can be made at home, and some can be purchased. Air-dry clays must be sealed after drying or they won't be waterproof, and they must be sealed on every part and in every hole, etc, or moisture can get to the clay and begin to dissolve it over time leaving it softened, distorted, etc.
