Huge Disclaimer: I am in no way an expert in all clay brands, so this experiment should be taken with a grain of salt. The materials that are mostly available to me are Sculpey and Fimo, which is why these are the two brands that I used to experiment with. I am aware that there are more brands out there, and I hear from clay groups that some are even better than these two brands. I am also acutely aware that even if you follow all the advice given to you, you could still end up with broken clay. This is because there are so many factors to consider, eg. how much the clay was conditioned, the temperatures of baking (and the temperatures in your craft room could also be a factor), thickness, etc.
The reason that I wanted to do this video was because I am not an advocate of waste. If what is mostly available to you is Sculpey III, there still might be a way to use it =) That is really why I wanted to show you what I do with mine.
As with anything, if it's the first time you will be using these blends, please experiment in small batches to see what works best for you.
Thank you for watching, and if this in any way helped you, then yey! I hope you do like and subscribe to my channel, and if you're also on Instagram, do check me out @crafttime.ph.

Sculpey iii tends to be very very sticky compared to premo, I learned to just remove the oil by rolling out a thin slab putting it in regular printer paper folded in half around it and rolling it until it’s flat enough so that most of the thickness of the clay is covered by clay. Then leave for overnight for the best results and bam it’s similar to premo

I'm sorry but I much prefer this to the 'normal' Sculpey having nearly broken my fingers softening it.

Some brands can be super hard to condition. I find pounding it with a mallet also helps soften very hard clay 😊

Thank you for doing this experiment and sharing! There was no premo in white at my local craft stores so I decided to try the infamous Sculpey III and Fimo. I was planning to mix and this is the only video I see on it. I'm also going to look into sealing them with resin. Or a resin substitute since I hear that it is toxic.

It really is quite difficult to keep on stock the better brands and I also don’t advocate throwing out clay so I found this as a solution, at least for the time being 😊 Thank you for watching!

@@CraftTimeStudio this was very helpful to me as I had been sent sculpey three mistake, but so wanted to get started making things that i decided I may be able to mix it with other clays. So your video is just what I wanted, I will have a little experiment myself I think I will tent the clay with tin foil though! thank you very much!

Hope it helps! It’s hard to throw clay out because of the current shortage so I really want to make the most of what I have. Plus, Sculpey III has some amazing colors! 😊 Thanks for watching!

Thank you for showing it a crumbly mess when you first condition. I always flip out and try so many ways to soften it first until I’m pretty stressed. But I suppose if im patient enough it will be fine.

I understand the concern. Because of the shortage of clay felt worldwide, sometimes we have to make do with what we have 😌

I wonder, if you resin them does it really matter anyway? I was sent Sculpey 3 by accident and figured I would just resin them and then it won't matter how flexible they are. Great experiment though!

Thank you! In theory, I suppose it wouldn’t matter if you top it with resin, although I haven’t yet tried doing that 😊
