* How to use a foil pan lid to prevent burning your polymer clay when baking.
* I show two samples of small pink hearts cut from Premo polymer clay and baked for 1 hour at 275F.
* One heart was baked directly on the metal pan with no cover.
* One heart was baked on 4 layers of cardstock with a foil pan lid.
* The one on the pan without the lid got fried to a crisp, and the other was just fine.
* I have seen people on RUclips baking their pieces on a metal pan all the time.
* This means that their pieces are constantly burning... or more likely, that they are baking for far less time than is required to prevent their pieces from becoming brittle.
* I found a BBQ Roasting pan that fit my metal pan perfectly.
* Line your pan with several layers of manila file folders cut to size.
