Covering the clay over the frozen balloon.
Wrapped polymer clay over water filled frozen balloon
Wrapping aluminium foil with Ultralight polymer clay
Wrapped UltraLight polymer clay over eggl shape aluminium foil armature
Baking both PC covered and UltraLight covered armatures. Baking time
45 minutes at 130ºC.
Collapse baked polymer shape balloon filled armature after baking.
Ultralight covered aluminium armature, floats even better on water, after baking
Premo silver polymer clay covering over aluminum foils and wine cork
Preparation to cover The baked Ultralight clay ball
You can apply liquid polymer clay on the Ultralight ball before covering
Test sample ultralight ball wrapped with Premo clay
Test shows the bake ball floating in water
You can used all types of polymer clay to cover aluminium armature
With regular polymer clay over aluminium armature and it will still floats
CONCLUSION
I have conducted quite a number of experiments to float polymer clay on water,
the best material to use are soft aluminum foils and Ultralight armatures. Covering
the aluminium armatures with Sculpey UltraLight Polymer clay will floats better.
