How do I Handle and Bake Liquid Sculpey?
LS comes in a white unlabeled plastic jar. The easiest way to dispense it is to pour it into a wide mouthed squeeze bottle and squeeze out what you need. Mixing on a disposable palette helps keep the mess under control. Baby wipes are handy for small clean ups and wiping brushes and tools. LS was made to cure at 300 degrees but will be fine at normal PC temperatures of 265-275 degrees. As with regular clays, the fumes are not toxic unless the LS burns. LS does produce a strong odor when baked normally and leaves more oily residue than the regular clay. For that reason, good ventilation is even more important than usual. Personally, I don’t bake any PC in my kitchen oven. All the other safe handling rules also apply; don’t reuse tools for making food and don’t put food in contact with polymer clay surfaces.
