Learn all about Liquid Sculpey - what it is, how it works and how to use it (plus creative tips and ideas!) with Sculpey Design Squad member Amy Koranek in this full length video!
If it's that much trouble to get the clear Liquid Sculpey out of the bottle, why does the company not package it in a different container with a wider mouth? Seems like an obvious fix.
Agreed, Jean! That packaging is ridiculous!
exactly, why not just sale it in a pot
I was going to say this exact same thing. Clear liquid Sculpey is so difficult to mix I never use mine.
People may want to use the bottle to get into tight areas. However they could sell it in a jar type container and include an empty bottle, even a smaller bottle would work.
Why not just shake the bottle it's in?
On removing 3D pendants from the mold, it's less expensive and more effective to add a drop of alcohol to free the pendant. It works wonderfully.
Thank you for the instructions on how to use the clear liquid. As an Ambassador for Sculpey, please suggest a larger wide mouth container opening for this one type of clear liquid for easy stirring access. Problem solved 👏👏👏
Would adding some metallic beads into the translucent liquid Sculpey clay work for keeping it mixed such as is in nail polish
Wonderful and clear tutorial. Thank you, Amy!
Can you use chalk dust for coloring with polymer clay
Why does sculpey put the clear in a squeeze tube if it can't be used like that? Something I've always wondered.. especially since even just squeezing out a small portion to mix is impossible with the way it settles in the bottle. Same with the glossy glaze. Fimo has theirs in a big pot which I prefer
Thank you for all your tips and information!! I am brand new to polymer clay and your videos are so helpful!
What is the difference between clear and translucent liquid sculpey?
Thank you for this thorough and informative tutorial.
Would it be possible for you as a sculpt ambassador to suggest they make a different bottle for the clear. It seems like quite a hassle to get all of it out of that bottle, being the shape that it is. You mean ruined you sometimes even ‘destroy’ the bottle. Just a suggestion, maybe a bottle that has an opening the same width as the seat of the bottle. Thank you ✌️😁👍
Thanks for sharing your personal tips and tricks. I suspect you saved me countless hours of frustration and messed up pieces. Great video for us new to the medium. Thank you.
Wow!! Love love love this tutorial
The wooden tray will be heated in the oven to let the liquid polymer clay harden? Nice video thanks ✅🦋
Thank you for this informative video. Please consider packaging the clear with a wide-mouth lid. Thank you.
Hi, I don’t understand what the window tracing is for. Please explain why and where I would use this technique. Thanks.
my sculpt came dried out how to I make it liquid again?
I just opened a new bottle of clear liquid sculpt and it's really dry and chunky. I mixed it up in a jar for a long time and it's still very crumbly. Should I add thinner?
Hi I have a toaster oven but the temperature only goes to 275 is that still ok for my earring?
Thank you very much
can I use Smart Craft acrylic paint on it after it is baked?
I have a question for anyone who's baked both liquid clays with regular polymer clay at the same time. I'm making hot chocolate charms and am planning on using liquid clay as both the hot chocolate drink portion of the charm and also planning on using it as varnish on the parts with pastel chalk like on the cookies, is it ok to bake liquid clay up to an hr? I normally bake regular polymer clay for an hr because it makes it flexible and sturdy, but i haven't used much liquid clay for a "drink/sauce", I've only ever made icing out of it but the icing had more regular polymer clay mixed into it than liquid clay so i went with my usual baking of solid clay with those, but now i'm heading into new territory. The hot chocolate will be a mix of TLS and pastel chalks of browns and maybe a bit of brown solid clay to keep it more opaque, and i'm going to dab on diluted TLS on some of the pastry pieces to seal in the pastel finishes as a matte varnish, everything else will just be normal polymer clay in the mug and other stuff. Ideally how id go about it is prebake some pieces first as i normally do for 5 mins, then sculpt the rest and assembling the prebakes, have chocolate liquid clay sauces and coco mix to it and then baking the whole thing to about 30 mins then applying thin layers of TLS as the "varnish" then rebaking it for a final time for 30 more mins. The varnish bake would only be 30 mins but in combination with the hot chocolate drink and sauces those would end up being a full hr of baking and i don't know if doing that would wreck my work, or if it doesn't even matter since the chocolate drink would be brown and opaque and wouldn't show any yellowing or whatever. But even if it wont show in a mixture that dark and murky in transparency i still want an answer for future reference when i work on projects with clearer liquid clay techniques.
You're on the right track! I've been doing very large sculptures for several years using liquid over regular. Many times, I have to cure the clay several times (series baking) and my last step is the clear. 30 minutes for the clear is usually perfect. If you're using Kato (which I do) for the clear, make sure the oven is on at 300 degrees otherwise it will look murky when you take it out. Do it in thin layers...I cannot emphasize that enough...otherwise it will not cure all the way thru and it will look murky underneath. Remember, this is not resin. If you're tinting the clear liquid, yellowing is usually unnoticeable but if you're not tinting it be extra careful. Also, I use a heat gun when I take the piece out of the oven to clarify the liquid even more, but be extra careful with this because you can singe it very quickly. I know this comes 10 months late but maybe this can help you somehow. Hope you're having fun creating!
Mine has so much bubbles when i bake it. Any help?
Can you make dog tags to go on dog collars? Is it non toxic?
If I have a baked piece of polymer jewelry, and I coat it with liquid Kato on one side, put it in the oven for the prescribed time to cure, remove it from the oven, let it cool, turn the piece over, can I then put a coat on the back, and bake it again, without the first side coat sticking or melting? Thank you.
once the liquid is baked you can rebake as many times as you need
Can u use mico powders to tint the liquid sculpy
Yes, give it a try!
Do you have to add thinner to all colors or just certain ones? I want to try but sometime too much reading gets to be confusing.
You only need to use thiner if you have older/dryed-out clay. Sometimes its dry when you buy it depending on the popularity of the color, how long it has been on the shelf, how much the store you buy from actually sells polymer clay, or how long it has sat in your home, some colors are not made as often due to the popularity of the color, sometimes you plan on using a color and your plans change and you just don't get to it, or you just don't have the time to craft as often as you like. Lots of things can effect your clay. The good news is that with using a thinner or clay softener you can always get your clay back to working order. I have saved clay from 20+ years ago. I found a great deal on clay from a local garage sale post. Found out after buying it that it had been from before she had kids. They were all grown and out of the house.
I just bought so not old. I just have been looking and watching so many videos that it seems to run together after a while. Thank you so much but then another question that comes up is what is considered old and is that when it starts getting thick and unable to stir it with a what I call a good consistency? Also excuse my typo error in first question. @@hollylowery26
Great clear video. Can you advise me please? Can I bake the clay in a AIR FRYER OVEN? Hope you can help.👍💕🥰🐶🇬🇧🇬🇧
I am as we speak baking it in an airfryer!! Yes you can, but since there's a lot of (strong) air flow you need something oven proof to cover the molds with. I use small molds only so I found some steel cup cake "wrappers" that I put over it. And I also use a silicone mat to prevent the air from messing everything up from below :)
You can take some of your left over clay and make a tiny long handle spoon shape kinda like a soup laddel. Long thin handle with the tiny spoon will make it easy to scoop all the clay out of the bottle. Im sure you know what the mayonaise scoop looks like but you can make smaller.
or use artist palette knives which come in many shapes
I wonder if storing it upside down would help with the clear
We recommend stirring Liquid Sculpey before use no matter which way the bottle is stored.
What do you use to thin it out if necessary?
Clay softener, they sell it
3:36 if that is what the product is, then why make it so difficult to reach? I though the Syringe-like format was meant to be useful? You give nice tips, but how, do I avoid wasting so much of this expensive product in my not so-studio-like environement please?
When removing the clear liquid sculpey from the bottle I would have just cut the bottle in half to remove all the product and then as you said use your own container to store it afterwards
Can you mix liquid scullery with wood
You can add it onto wood but we are not sure what you mean by mixing it with wood.
I hope I can get as neat and tidy as you are
What the world needs now, is not more mindless plastic.
I agree with others, why not make a wide top? The video was helpful though.
Once the liquid Sculpey is cured, can you use superglue to adhere it to other cured polymer clay? Will the superglue ruin the cured liquid clay?
Should cut the clear liquid sculpey container apart and then store in a large mouth container.
so cute👌.👌.
I'm not happy with liquid Sculpey, it's impossible to keep at a proper consistency and I've received many leaking bottles. I put it in a sealed jar and it became so dry so fast there was no bringing it back. I'm going with Cernit or I found a good video on how to make my own which means I can make whatever color I want because you color with acrylic paint.
Can I please see that make your own video?

Please please change the Clear liquid Sculpey packaging to a little container instead. The whole destroying the bottle to take it all out and then store it somewhere else…
It’d be so much better if this wasn’t shown from above !!
How ridiculous. I am returning my unopened bottle of clear sculpy. Who wants to go through all that. And if it is necessary to mix the clearn sculpy like that, why didn't the company put it in a wider mouthed bottle. Totally ridiculous!!!!
That sure does seem like a bad product design. It might be a wonderful product, but that's a terrible initial design.
Please have your editor take out all the um and other thinking noises. It's their job. I notice they disappear once you get rolling.
Perhaps dont waste 7 minutes trying to grt your easy to use product out of the bottle. Lost me
