Question: How to preserve polymer clay before baking!?
i was thinking of making keychains, so they'd be pretty small!. but i dont think tis practical to put just one in at a time!. so is it possible to make a bunch, and bake them all at the same time!? (btw, im using the original sculpey, if that makes a diff!.)

thanks in adv!. details appreciated!.

Hi, you can bake as many items that will fit on your tile or pan as long as your oven is accurate!. I like to bake for 30 min!. per 1/4" thickness!.
However, your choice of clay may cause you some grief!. Original Sculpey is not very strong, and it bakes quite brittle!. It is mainly for children's projects!. You certainly wouldn't want to try and sell them or even give them as gifts!. Been there, done that!. Your best bet would be to switch to either Premo or Fimo!. Both remain slightly flexible after baking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
