    After a long journey I understand that there are lot of varieties in Polymer Clay
    Pl. read the manufacturer instructions clearly before buying It should have backing property ( 150 - 220 dec C). Otherwise the pack should have declaration of "Terracotta clay)

    Major Brand: FIMO SOFT & JOYE - these two brands are very good.

    FIMO - we can get lot of colours

    Joye - Sand colour - need to be painted after backing.

    Regarding Backing:

    We can use

    1. Ovan
    2. Toster
    3. Pressure cooker ( keep the polymer models in a air tight container ) and partly fill the cooker with water cook for 30 min at high temperature (Remember remove the Weight )

    4. Microover - place the polymer clay (FIMO - Only ) in water in a micro-oven container and keep it for 1 min increase the time based on the thickness of the polymer models. After baking it will be hard.

    any clarification pl. ask i will help you my level best to learn.
