Is Sculpey III Really Brittle?

Further to my previous videos about Sculpey III, DAS oven bake clay and The Craft Place clay, I have been told that Scupley III is very brittle so I thought I'd put a few brands of clay to the test.
I hope you enjoy the video - if you do, please subscribe.

So the takeaway is use the clay ideal for your project. When you need a harder product use the sculpey 3 need flexibility use the fimo.

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I just stick with Fimo - It's a good all rounder

[@lemonhead162]

I don't like Sculpey III. It's way too soft & sticky. It also breaks apart and crumbles after baking. I honestly love mixing Original Sculpey with Premo to get a decent clay.

[@KittenRaptor]

This is exactly the comparison I was looking for, thank you very much!

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Glad to be of help!

[@d3bbi339]

This is the perfect experiment. Thank you 🙏

[@mrdr9534]

Thanks for sharing this simple yet well thought through and presented test.
I found it very informative.
Best regards.

[@positivesolutions151]

iv used super sculpey and really like it

[@221b-Maker-Street]

No mention of Cernit? I've never heard of Craft Place before...

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Cernit is not readily available in the shops here

[@KathBorup]

I used sculpey III and I've tried all kinds of heat and time settings every single bake it comes out brittle and breaks easily. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong 😭

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Sculpey 2 or III? III is known to be brittle.

[@KathBorup]

@@CurioByBSpokeDesigns sorry I meant to say sculpey III

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

@@KathBorup Yes. It's known to be brittle and breaks easily

[@justbeeyourself]

i never use sculpey III, always sculpey premo or sculpey souffle, fimo, or cernit.

[@KathleenRenninger]

Thanks for this comparison.

[@NJBrand]

Thank you!

[@FuryousD]

what about the other Sculpey products? the soft, medium hard and super sculpey variations?, but after this i might have to consider buying some fimo clay for my projects

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

The other variants aren't readily available here - I tested this one as it was sold in local craft stores

[@margaretcunningham7267]

Thank you for this information, I’m new to polymer clay, bought Fimo soft, baked at temperature stated on package
But cured for one hour , and it still broke 👎🏻 any advise plz 🇬🇧

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I've never had any issues with Fimo Soft but you may have over baked it.

[@ib03y7]

Which fimo?

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Fimo Soft

[@TheRealRealHousewife]

So what’s the best for making jewelry?

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I prefer Fimo

[@eagle-ny8rc]

Hello, have you tried sculpey premo?

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I tend to try out what is readily available, which Premo isn't here. I must order some though.

[@ohlookitslin]

How long and what temperature did you bake them at?

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I baked them according to the instructions on the packets. Fimo was baked at a slightly lower temperature than the others 110 degrees rather than 130 degrees.

[@Mbeepyd]

May I ask for the colour name of the Fimo one? It's exactly what I'm looking out for.

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

If i remember it was Lilac

[@cassiewells3802]

Did you use fimo soft or professional

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

I use Fimo Soft as it was the only one available in my local stores.

[@analimon6124]

What do you think of FIMO kids clay?

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

To be honest, I have never used it. I'm not sure it's available in the UK

[@analimon6124]

I see. Thank you so much for taking the time to answer!

[@reymed1670]

Sculpey was good like a hard rubber but now it is rock hard it's Crap

[@danie4819]

My sculpey 3 breaks so easy

[@davidruiz2474]

....I mean who is going to be making things that are meant to have that much flex to them???

[@CurioByBSpokeDesigns]

Plenty of people - or Cosclay would be out of business....

[@yeska7192]

Bias much?
