    I've been told that a Ranger melting pot always works for baking polymer clay. Do you have any thoughts on this?

    Great lense, very informative, I learned a few things I didn't know which is always useful! Also, love your jewelry, expecially your cuttle fish necklace, I love those clever little critters!

    I'm just covering the common techniques used and plenty of people have good luck with boiling. I did put a disclaimer in bright red letters about the debate over whether if is durable in the long term. It's up to individual artists to decide what to use.

    Great lens, except for the part about boiling the clay to cure it. Boiling water will only reach 212 deg. F. It can never get to an adequate temperature to cure the clay so that it is strong and durable.

    Wish that these tips for curing had been available back when the polymers were introduced!
    Thanks for another great lens!

    Hi Sheryl,
    I really enjoy polymer clay, but am still a beginner. Therefore I have only cured my works following manufacturers instructions. I had no idea you could boil the clay!
    I love your jewelry, and will fave this lens for reference. Great job!
