Floating Polymer Clay Test: Covering Water Filled Frozen 
Balloon And Aluminium Foil Armatures With Polymer Clay

     



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
 


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 is still soft aluminium foil armature, it is more firm as 
base support. Covering the aluminium armature with Sculpey UltraLight
Polymer clay will floats even better.
