Project Instructions
- Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey®:
- Baking:
- It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
- Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures.
- If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes.
- If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it or by using aluminum foil over your project.
Carefully fill the center stripe of the rainbow shape with Gold Liquid
Sculpey® (LS) making sure the Gold does not go over the dividing line.
Fill the top stripe with Rose Gold LS. Make sure the LS completely surrounds
the little post in the top stripe. You can move the LS around the post as needed with the Needle Tool.
Fill the inner stripe with Bronze LS. Gently tap the mold on the work surface
to release air bubbles. Stubborn air bubbles can be easily popped with the tip of the Needle Tool.
Back fill the mold to level with Rose Gold LS. Tap again gently to release air
bubbles.
Bake the mold following the baking instructions for Liquid Sculpey®. Allow the
mold to cool completely before flexing it to release the rainbow shape.
