I know this gets asked over and over again but I would like to clarify re the cooking of Polymer clay - specifically fimo.
My children are making little pendants etc for their Nan's birthday today (not last minute at all!!
), however I have tried cooking some tester clay at 130 degrees following advice from the internet for 20 mins. I have then tried to do the bend it without breaking test and it broke! So believeing that this means it is undercooked I put it back in for another 10 mins tried the test again and still broke
.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be. I think that I read somewhere that you cannot cook it for too long but if it breaks easily it is undercooked.
What is more important? The cooking time or temperature?
Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssse help. The girls get really upset when their creations break in half.
