- Hello Makers! In today's video we are doing a bit of a science experiment :) I am trying out a few different ways of attaching metal posts to polymer clay earrings and comparing them to test strength and aesthetics.

Oh I adore your storage of cutters on the wall behind you! Brilliant!
Thank you, I have a youtube tutorial on how I organize them this way. It helps so much :)
after a time my uv risin peels from the back of my earrings where the risin touches the skin :(
So if using bake and bond do you use that on raw clay then add the post with bake and bond then bake with post in oven ?
I love your shirt!!
Thanks so much for this video. I’m just beginning with polymer clay & actually just purchased some cutters from you.
I’ve seen where some clayers glue down the post then cover the back with a thin piece of polymer clay. Do you recommend that method, why or why not?
It seems like there is a difference between clear liquid clay and translucent, I’m going to test it out but the clear one doesn’t seem to work
That’s interesting! Are you adding it to raw clay or cured? Liquid clay will not adhere properly to cured clay. Please let me know what you find out. I’m excited 😆
Brilliant! Thank you so much. Incredibly helpful. ❤️
Do you use resin on the front of the earring as well? Or just on the back to hold the earring post?
Great video. Thank you.
What brand of lamp do you use? And what was the brand of resin?
What was the difference between the first ones with liquid clay and the one that peeled right off?
The difference is that the first piece was made with liquid clay and raw clay. The piece that peeled right off was liquid clay on a piece that was already baked.
@@theseasaltco5691 oh okay, thank you!
The gorilla glue, resin approach is what I currently do as well but I recently heard that many people’s skin reacts badly to resin. What do you do to circumvent that?
Resin allergies are very common. For this customer I would embed the post in the clay. It would be clay, post and bake & bond, then clay again. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you for sharing 😘
You’re welcome :)
Are you worried about the yellowing that happens with resin?
Great question! I find that low quality resins are the only ones that yellow. I’ve had lunch with JDiction and Resin Rockers
You don’t wear gloves and a mask with UV resin? The fumes ate dangerous. I do love your video though. Do you resin the front?
When I used liquid clay it was easily pulled off :(
Yes, that's exactly what happened to me. Thats why I made this video so everyone can choose the best option for them. If you use liquid clay on baked pieces it peels right off. But if you use liquid clay on raw clay it will be stronger but not as strong as bake and bond or resin.
@theseasaltco5691 does the bake and bond have to be on raw clay as well?
