  • Polymer Clay Basics Polymer clays are man made modeling materials that, once heat cured, become permanent and will not return to their original state. All are composed of the same basic components: plasticizers, resins, fillers and colorants. Before using polymer clay it must be conditioned... kneading by hand until the clay is soft and pliable or fold and roll through a pasta machine. Inadequate conditioning will result in weakened finished items and weakened piece to piece adhesion. Condition light colors first, then move to darker colors. Polymer clay pieces can be cured in a standard oven (convection) or toaster oven. Do not microwave polymer clay. If you don't have a dedicated oven, place items in an aluminum pan, then cover tightly with foil to prevent residue build up in your oven. Cure pieces in a well-ventilated area. Check oven accuracy with a thermometer and use a timer to avoid exceeding curing time. The recommended curing temperature is 300° F (150° C). Kato Polyclay™ can be cured at 275° F (135° C) with good results and has been approved to cure at 350° F by our toxicologist, however caution should be taken when curing at that temperature, time should be limited to 10 minutes as you will run the risk of discoloration. You should never exceed 365° F. Materials that will withstand clay curing temperatures, such as glass, paper mache, wood, metal and ceramic items may be covered with clay and baked in the oven. Items may be nested in polyester batting to avoid flat, shiny spots. Finished pieces may be painted or glazed after curing. Water-based paints and glazes are recommended. Cured clay may also be wet sanded (automotive sandpaper - 400 and 600 grit, in water) and then buffed to a high-gloss sheen. Working Properties of Kato PolyClay™ 1. Conditioning - Kato Polyclay™ is easy to condition, with no crumbling. I slice the blocks into 1/8" thick pieces. Roll through the pasta machine at the thickest setting. Finish by folding and rolling. 2. Handling - with continuous kneading and working, Kato Polyclay™ does not become sticky and, therefore, maintains its ease of workability. 3. Strength - Kato Polyclay™ was deemed as strong or stronger than other clays the testers used, - most feeling it was stronger. Not one single respondent found it to be less strong. Additionally, every color shares the same strength. 4. Color stability - From uncured to cured state, no Kato Polyclay™ color shifts more than 1/2 shade, with the majority remaining unchanged from uncured to cured state. It is virtually "true- color". 5. Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6. Color Mixing - Rather than taking an academic approach (this requires that the user have a rather extensive knowledge of color mixing) we have opted for a more user friendly and intuitive method. The Spectral Colors form the basis for the creation of all colors. If they were placed on the color wheel, you would find them very evenly spaced. This approach makes color mixing simple for even the most inexperienced user. 7. Colors - Colors have been formulated for maximum purity and brilliance. 8. Finish - Once cured, Kato Polyclay™ exhibits a satin sheen. 9. Density - As part of the manufacturing process, Kato Polyclay™ is vacuum extruded (we are the only company utilizing this state of the art process). In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.

Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6. Color Mixing - Rather than taking an academic approach (this requires that the user have a rather extensive knowledge of color mixing) we have opted for a more user friendly and intuitive method. The Spectral Colors form the basis for the creation of all colors. If they were placed on the color wheel, you would find them very evenly spaced. This approach makes color mixing simple for even the most inexperienced user. 7. Colors - Colors have been formulated for maximum purity and brilliance. 8. Finish - Once cured, Kato Polyclay™ exhibits a satin sheen. 9. Density - As part of the manufacturing process, Kato Polyclay™ is vacuum extruded (we are the only company utilizing this state of the art process). In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.

  • Polymer Clay Basics Polymer clays are man made modeling materials that, once heat cured, become permanent and will not return to their original state. All are composed of the same basic components: plasticizers, resins, fillers and colorants. Before using polymer clay it must be conditioned... kneading by hand until the clay is soft and pliable or fold and roll through a pasta machine. Inadequate conditioning will result in weakened finished items and weakened piece to piece adhesion. Condition light colors first, then move to darker colors. Polymer clay pieces can be cured in a standard oven (convection) or toaster oven. Do not microwave polymer clay. If you don't have a dedicated oven, place items in an aluminum pan, then cover tightly with foil to prevent residue build up in your oven. Cure pieces in a well-ventilated area. Check oven accuracy with a thermometer and use a timer to avoid exceeding curing time. The recommended curing temperature is 300° F (150° C). Kato Polyclay™ can be cured at 275° F (135° C) with good results and has been approved to cure at 350° F by our toxicologist, however caution should be taken when curing at that temperature, time should be limited to 10 minutes as you will run the risk of discoloration. You should never exceed 365° F. Materials that will withstand clay curing temperatures, such as glass, paper mache, wood, metal and ceramic items may be covered with clay and baked in the oven. Items may be nested in polyester batting to avoid flat, shiny spots. Finished pieces may be painted or glazed after curing. Water-based paints and glazes are recommended. Cured clay may also be wet sanded (automotive sandpaper - 400 and 600 grit, in water) and then buffed to a high-gloss sheen. Working Properties of Kato PolyClay™ 1. Conditioning - Kato Polyclay™ is easy to condition, with no crumbling. I slice the blocks into 1/8" thick pieces. Roll through the pasta machine at the thickest setting. Finish by folding and rolling. 2. Handling - with continuous kneading and working, Kato Polyclay™ does not become sticky and, therefore, maintains its ease of workability. 3. Strength - Kato Polyclay™ was deemed as strong or stronger than other clays the testers used, - most feeling it was stronger. Not one single respondent found it to be less strong. Additionally, every color shares the same strength. 4. Color stability - From uncured to cured state, no Kato Polyclay™ color shifts more than 1/2 shade, with the majority remaining unchanged from uncured to cured state. It is virtually "true- color". 5. Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6.

For the stamps that are pre-marked with the letter or symbol, marking should generally face toward the user when stamping. If you have a set that's different, you may want to put a dot facing you, to keep all your stamps consistent.

Conditioning - Kato Polyclay™ is easy to condition, with no crumbling. I slice the blocks into 1/8" thick pieces. Roll through the pasta machine at the thickest setting. Finish by folding and rolling. 2. Handling - with continuous kneading and working, Kato Polyclay™ does not become sticky and, therefore, maintains its ease of workability. 3. Strength - Kato Polyclay™ was deemed as strong or stronger than other clays the testers used, - most feeling it was stronger. Not one single respondent found it to be less strong. Additionally, every color shares the same strength. 4. Color stability - From uncured to cured state, no Kato Polyclay™ color shifts more than 1/2 shade, with the majority remaining unchanged from uncured to cured state. It is virtually "true- color". 5. Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6. Color Mixing - Rather than taking an academic approach (this requires that the user have a rather extensive knowledge of color mixing) we have opted for a more user friendly and intuitive method. The Spectral Colors form the basis for the creation of all colors. If they were placed on the color wheel, you would find them very evenly spaced. This approach makes color mixing simple for even the most inexperienced user. 7. Colors - Colors have been formulated for maximum purity and brilliance. 8. Finish - Once cured, Kato Polyclay™ exhibits a satin sheen. 9. Density - As part of the manufacturing process, Kato Polyclay™ is vacuum extruded (we are the only company utilizing this state of the art process). In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.

  • Enameling Tips:Enamel is durable, but not totally infallible. Handle finished pieces with care.Do all metal shaping, stamping, punching, etc. before adding enamels.Thoroughly clean your metal before enameling. Penny Brite works great!Before sifting enamel onto the piece, spray on a light coat of Klyr-Fire to help enamel stay in place with an even coating.To paint instead of sift, mix with Klyr Fire or approximately 40% water (to get desired consistency) and paint with a small sable paintbrush. You may want to fire a layer of Opaque White Undercoat first.Sift or paint enamel in desired pattern, carefully transfer to your firing station, and fire!If torch firing, watch closely: when the enamel begins to melt, you'll see a glossy "orange peel" stage where the enamel beads up before slumping to a smooth enameled sheen. Fire a bit more, but don't overheat - some colors will scorch.Allow to slowly cool. A warmed pan (or small crockpot) of vermiculite works great.Clean as necessary - Penny Brite or a brief pickle, maybe a little underwater grinding with an alundum stone.Keep all your leftover / spilled enamel powder. If the colors get mixed, save them in a separate bin for use as a counter (back side) enamel. Place a creased paper on your sifting worksurface, so you can easily dump excess enamel back in the container or a mixed jar.Enameling Safety:Eye protection and a fine-particulate mask are recommended when working with enamels.Wash hands thoroughly when done, and avoid rubbing your eyes.If working regularly with enamels, we suggest protective gloves to prevent irritation from small glass particles.When torch-firing:Prepare a fireproof work area, and remove clutter.A fire extinguisher nearby and good ventilation are important.Consider wearing an apron, closed-toe shoes and natural fiber clothing, and avoiding loose hair, flowy clothing and dangling jewelry.Keep food, drinks, pets and small children away from your enamel and/or firing workspace.Metal Compatibility & Color:Copper "paint chip" in image shows how this enamel looks on copper. Opaque colors are on their own. Translucent and opalescent colors have Foundation White on the bottom portion, and then a layer of translucent or opalescent color over the Foundation White and part-way up the bare copper. The color number was stamped on each strip of copper before enameling.The firing temperature range for our enamels is 1,400°-1,500°F (760°-815°C), and they have a coefficient of expansion (COE) from 258 to 360, cubic expansion. Metals that work with these enamels must have a higher melting point, and a similar COE. Otherwise your metal may melt before your enamel, or the enamel may pop off when your jewelry is exposed to temperature changes.Specifically, these enamels work with copper, gold, low-carbon steel and fine silver. This includes fired copper clay and fine-silver clay. (And some alloys of brass work -- we've had good luck with Vintaj brass blanks and our 24g brass blanks, especially with the higher COE colors, but color results have been unpredictable with brass -- they often require a 2nd layer and 2nd firing to get the color you were aiming for.)Specific COE for most colors is listed in the "Additional specs" field on this page. For more information about why COE is important for people who like to experiment with alternate metals, see the Thompson Enamel Workbook.

  • After removing firescale or other rough spots with this medium-grit abrasive buff, you may want to follow it with a muslin buffing wheel for a higher polish. Entanglement Warning: Keep hair, loose clothing, dangling jewelry, and beards away from the rotating parts of motorized polishing tools! If you find yourself doing a lot of grinding, buffing, polishing, soldering, pickling, etc., consider adding a ventilation system to pull dust, fumes and small particles away from you. Many pre-made systems exist for workshops, or you can create your own from flexible ductwork intakes directly over your work areas, and exhaust fan(s) that fit your workspace and needs.

  • Polymer Clay Basics Polymer clays are man made modeling materials that, once heat cured, become permanent and will not return to their original state. All are composed of the same basic components: plasticizers, resins, fillers and colorants. Before using polymer clay it must be conditioned... kneading by hand until the clay is soft and pliable or fold and roll through a pasta machine. Inadequate conditioning will result in weakened finished items and weakened piece to piece adhesion. Condition light colors first, then move to darker colors. Polymer clay pieces can be cured in a standard oven (convection) or toaster oven. Do not microwave polymer clay. If you don't have a dedicated oven, place items in an aluminum pan, then cover tightly with foil to prevent residue build up in your oven. Cure pieces in a well-ventilated area. Check oven accuracy with a thermometer and use a timer to avoid exceeding curing time. The recommended curing temperature is 300° F (150° C). Kato Polyclay™ can be cured at 275° F (135° C) with good results and has been approved to cure at 350° F by our toxicologist, however caution should be taken when curing at that temperature, time should be limited to 10 minutes as you will run the risk of discoloration. You should never exceed 365° F. Materials that will withstand clay curing temperatures, such as glass, paper mache, wood, metal and ceramic items may be covered with clay and baked in the oven. Items may be nested in polyester batting to avoid flat, shiny spots. Finished pieces may be painted or glazed after curing. Water-based paints and glazes are recommended. Cured clay may also be wet sanded (automotive sandpaper - 400 and 600 grit, in water) and then buffed to a high-gloss sheen. Working Properties of Kato PolyClay™ 1. Conditioning - Kato Polyclay™ is easy to condition, with no crumbling. I slice the blocks into 1/8" thick pieces. Roll through the pasta machine at the thickest setting. Finish by folding and rolling. 2. Handling - with continuous kneading and working, Kato Polyclay™ does not become sticky and, therefore, maintains its ease of workability. 3. Strength - Kato Polyclay™ was deemed as strong or stronger than other clays the testers used, - most feeling it was stronger. Not one single respondent found it to be less strong. Additionally, every color shares the same strength. 4. Color stability - From uncured to cured state, no Kato Polyclay™ color shifts more than 1/2 shade, with the majority remaining unchanged from uncured to cured state. It is virtually "true- color". 5. Consistency - Colors share the same consistency and softness. For example, you won't find white very hard and green very soft. Even consistency promotes even cane reduction, which results in less distorted imagery and less waste at cane ends. 6. Color Mixing - Rather than taking an academic approach (this requires that the user have a rather extensive knowledge of color mixing) we have opted for a more user friendly and intuitive method. The Spectral Colors form the basis for the creation of all colors. If they were placed on the color wheel, you would find them very evenly spaced. This approach makes color mixing simple for even the most inexperienced user. 7. Colors - Colors have been formulated for maximum purity and brilliance. 8. Finish - Once cured, Kato Polyclay™ exhibits a satin sheen. 9. Density - As part of the manufacturing process, Kato Polyclay™ is vacuum extruded (we are the only company utilizing this state of the art process). In essence, air from the clay is removed, making the clay denser and eliminating the need for continuous folding and rolling to remove air pockets from the clay. 10. Warm repositioning - Kato Polyclay™ is not as fragile as other brands when warm. Kato Polyclay™ allows for a measure of repositioning of elements when warm - the clay maintains its new position without breaking.
