    From the D&D community: if you don't have the helping hand tool or have no means to buy one yourself, grab yourself some sticky tack/blue tack, stick it onto the stem, put that whole thing on a wine cork or other small thing you can hold onto. Enjoy!
    Thanks, Tiny, I didn't know if it was safe to chuck the whole PBT keycap into the oven with the rest of the clay.

    this may be a dumb question but, can air fryer be used to "bake" the keycaps?

    • @tinymakesthings
      @tinymakesthings  Год назад

      Not a dumb question! So air fryers are convection ovens (I think) and that's what I use! So theoretically it should work. However, I think you may have to use some sort of way to protect the clay from being heated directly (i.e. wrap the clay/keycaps in aluminum foil) because my convection oven burns the clay if there's not another layer between the heat and the clay!

    Hi! I really wanted a transparent keycap so that I can custom my own keycap. the thing is I can't find a transparent PBT keycap. the ones I found locally was a Transparent ABS keycap. I think I'll stick with Air dry clay. Will it stick normally to the keycap or should I put some glue if I'm going to make one to make it stick?

    • @tinymakesthings
      @tinymakesthings  3 года назад +1

      Like I mentioned in the video, if the keycap is fully made of PBT, it shouldn't melt at the temperature of baking clay. So the cap you're using is either not PBT (fully) or you're baking at too high of temperature.
