    Hi, thanks for this tutorial, most of the content creators don't show the translucent liquid clay portion, but I think it is important and you talked about it, will it help the pieces to not crumble after baking? And is it very important in this process? I'm a beginner and I'm collecting all the infos that I can before starting this as I'm creating a list of products to buy.

    • @greatestoftheseco7473
      @greatestoftheseco7473  2 года назад +1

      Hi! It does help hold the pieces together before and during baking. Think of it as a sort of adhesive. You can do this without it, but your pieces may be crumbly, when you cut into it. I hope this helps! ❤️

    Hi! Thank you so much for the tutorial. My slab came out really sticky and couldn't get it through the pasta machine. Do you know why would that might be? Also do you let the acrylics to get fried before mixing? Thank you💜

    • @greatestoftheseco7473
      @greatestoftheseco7473  Год назад +1

      I’m sorry your clay was too sticky! So a few things you can do to help with that in the future. I like to allow my acrylic and liquid clay to partially dry. Another thing I will do if I’m working with a particularly sticky slab, is throw it in the freezer for about 10 mins. This helps to somewhat harden it, so it’s not quite as sticky. It could also be the type of clay you’re using. Cernit translucent is a lot softer than Sculpey Premo or soufflé. I stay away from Sculpey lll because it’s not easy to work with. I hope this helps! 🫶🏻

      I’m so sorry it crumbled on you…. To help with crumbly clay, you can use a clay softener, or translucent liquid clay. I’ve used both of these methods, and they work great. Just don’t use too much of the liquid.
