In this video tutorial, we are running a bit of an experiment, discussing the three brands of polymer clay FIMO Professional, Sculpey PREMO, and CERNIT Number One, by the end of this tutorial you will know which is the best and why!
Some useful links to our Etsy shop and Amazon affiliate where you can find clay(even in these hard times :D) as well as tools (includes my favorite toolset on Amazon) and of course some educational materials:

Amazon Affiliate (clicking on any of these links could help this channel get some money and survive! So please do so! IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING!):
My favorite Amazon toolset for Clay/Wax Carvers:

Books I found useful (somewhat...fair warning they are for artists that intend to draw, but the basic shapes of the muscles and positions are the same, so you stand to learn from it) and 1 is for beginners in polymer clay:

I've asked several people why my sculpey figures crack with time and they told me it doesn't. However, I have a crack on each of my sculpey sculptures. Thank you so much for this and for confirming the experience I also had. I've recently switched to Fimo to test it and appreciate you doing this. I've never seen the other brand of clay and will have to look for it.

Well of course your sculpey broke during baking, aluminum bends easily when heated up, not to mention that a single twisted pair of aluminum is inadequate to hold that much material you've put on that sculpture. :D

@TheWoodlandWhisp

Thanks so much, I've always been a fan of sculpey for its variety of products. I was just shopping for new clays though and was indecisive between cernit and fimo. I think I'll go with cernit.

Scupley souffle is really good to! Thanks for the video.

@felipevv3415

Thanks a lot for this video, never used cernit and I was very curious about it. Cheers

@01forest

do you guys think coating the thinnest Fimo test with UV resin would make it very very difficult to break?

Great to see a comparison video like this. I have only ever used Fimo but might look into trying some Cernit now.

@eleayafrost7951

What would happen if you mixed cernit, say the translucent one, with Fimo? Would it make it stronger? Would the baking time make a difference? I'm in the UK too and the Cernit range is minimal at best here and very expensive. Fimo is the cheapest and easiest one to get.

If it begins to smell like chemicals in the oven, then either the baking time is too long or the temperature is too high. From my experience,for thinner claypieces like maybe 3 cm, 15 min baking time is enough. For thicker pieces I would use 30 min, but never baking over the max. temperature.

Nice review to see strength. Have you tried Kato?

Fimo pro is nice only when it is freshly conditioned, if you make a cane and save some for later,a week or more it firms up so much the it just cracks and crumbles When you take slices of the cane or try to reduce it further. Color they sell are very nice and make beautiful blends And the Clay is quite strong wind properly baked , I don’t use it anymore because of the conditioning and crumbling problem even though the clay is perfectly fine they’re not dry or hard you don’t use it as soon as you condition it it’s not a very pleasant experience

Sorry to compare but Ace of Clay uses Sculpey all the time. As do many American artists. I wonder if its how they are shipped. Thank you for your information!!!
