When the clay is baked at the proper temperature, varying from 230 to 270 º F (110º C to 130º C) depending upon the make and color), chemical changes occur and the particles fuse into a solid mass without shrinking. If heated again, the clay will soften slightly but not melt (technically it is similar to "thermosetting" plastics, but still has some characteristics of "thermoplastics"). Like many other plastics, if heated too hot 350º F to 390º F (180º C to 200º C) it will darken, give off noxious fumes and possibly catch fire. Polymer clay are available in more than hundreds of color. The different types and colors of the clay can be intermix. The colors may darken slightly when baked at higher temperature.

Baking with bigger object will have to monitor visually, starting with 20 minutes, if it is still not well done set another 15 or 30 minutes. Avoid over baking and check oven temperature with a oven thermometer. Over baking the clay at 350º F to 390º F (180º C to 200º C) will create fumes, avoid inhaling the fumes, always use well ventilated spaces. *To remove finger print on clay

About Safety And Toxic Of Polymer Clay What types of pigments are used to color the clays? Are they toxic? We use Non-Toxic pigments and mica pigments. None of our pigments contain any heavy metals or chemicals of concern. In our Premo! product line, our clay colors such as "cadmium red hue," "cobalt blue hue" and the like mimic the colors of the heavy metal based pigments but are non-toxic and safe. Our colors are named after the artist's paint colors, but none contain possible toxic substances such as cadmium, zinc or titanium. Some of the oven-bake clays "bleed" color on your hands. This is due to the amount of pigment needed to make the deep, rich, luxurious colors. Work from light colors to dark colors. Clean hands when shifting to a lighter color, and clean the rollers of your pasta machine to avoid introducing any deep colors into the lighter colors.
