    I wish my local craft stores had a good selection of Cernit. I’m in the US and there’s less than 10 and they are all colored translucent

      Oh that’s a shame! Sculpey is great but it’s nice to have other options and the Cernit plain translucent is great. FYI we do ship worldwide in case you wanted to get your hands on some other colours ☺️

    Thanks for the leeching tip, mine is too soft right out from the package, does not bother me, just bought a few blocks and i love Cernit, i had to throw all Fimo blocks because it was impossible to work with them (old, crumpy, dry).

    • @myclayco

      No problem, happy to help! Yes, I love Cernit! I think so long as you understand that Cernit often just needs a little love (whether that be warmer it up or leeching it) you will love working with it.
      I am yet to try FIMO but I bought a few blocks a couple of weeks ago because I am so intrigued by all the comments we get about it!

    Would polymer clay be toxic when we bake it in the oven? Would that give toxic fumes? We use the oven for baking meals would we get affected by toxic fumes?

    • @myclayco

      Polymer clay is non-toxic when baked as directed. If you ever burn polymer clay (hopefully not!) you should clean you oven 😊

    Thank you for this video! I have a problem with my Cernit clays being so sticky, especially the translucent. I’ve tried leaching it and it stuck to the paper so badly I had to start over. It sticks to tile, the glass work surface, my tools and fingers, and the shapes get distorted if they’re even salvageable. Do you have any experience with and tips for that? I love how it looks SO MUCH when it’s baked, but the losses can be pretty devastating. Running it through the pasta machine can be a bit of a nightmare, too.
    For reference I’ve been playing with mica powders, alcohol inks, and even the metallic line with the translucent.
    I recently purchased some Soufflé and Premo and don’t have those problems, but I love the finished Cernit so much it’s hard to fathom parting with it.

    • @myclayco
      @myclayco  Před měsícem

      Yes, I agree, Cernit has such a lovely finish 💖 How long are you leaching the clay for? You may need to do it for several hours if it’s that sticky 🤔

    I only recently started trying out polymer clay but am not very happy with the Fimo I got and am going to switch to Cernit soon, so your video was really helpful becaues I think this brand could be just what I'm lookng for :) Thank you!

      @@myclayco I think I will start out with replacing all that I run out on with Fimo then with Cernit ...
      And enjoying ... lol sometimes I hate this stuff, sometimes it's fun and sometimes I'm messing up ... but it's getting better by now.

    I want to mix my own colors, which red/ fuchsia blue and yellow would you suggest?

    • @myclayco
      @myclayco  Před 2 měsíci +2

      The Cernit number ones in Yellow, Blue and Red are actually really close to actual primary colours so they would be great for colour mixing 😊 We did a video a couple of weeks ago on Colour Theory for polymer clay that you might find helpful 😊
