    Of all the clay videos I’ve watched involving anything to do with clay this one is the best and most needed for me. Thank you so much for putting this on here. The paper towel trick is phenomenal and I’ve been able to incorporate that else where!

    I've always avoided using glue because i thought i shouldn't bake it, but it must be ok? i'll give it a go. Thanks Beth

      NOOOO. Just because someone did it in a video doesn’t mean it must be okay. It’s EXTREMELY toxic.

    Did you bake the stud before adding the post and then baked again? Just wanting to make sure to do it correctly and not burn my clay

    • @annitagalvan9049
      @annitagalvan9049 Год назад +1

      @Kayla Branham Yes, it seems that the stud was baked before adding the post. Then, for sure, it was baked again when the grey polymer clay was applied.
      NB, You can bake your project as many times as you want, actually it makes it stronger, keeping the right temperature.
      As well, there are projects that it's a must to bake it multiple times if you have to do more delicate work on it.

    Can I use some other glue instead of liquid clay? Pls tell.

    • @BethWest
      @BethWest  3 года назад

      Sorry I missed this, the liquid clay isn’t essential, but I think brushing it on helps the baked clay and metal of the post stick more easily when your smoothing it. Without it, pressing it down is more challenging.

      I like to add music sometimes, if you turn on the closed captions you can turn the volume down and still get the info, hope it helps!

    • @BethWest
      @BethWest  2 года назад

      I’m sorry for the late reply! I don’t use E6000, it tends to fail over time. The Loctite Gel is my favorite glue and the one I’ve stuck with for years.
