Liquid Sculpey® and Art Resin Poured Tray

Getting Started with Liquid Sculpey:

Please make sure your work area is covered and you are not working on an unprotected surface. We recommend working on the Sculpey® Oven Safe Work Mat, wax paper, metal baking sheet, or disposable foil. Uncured Liquid Polymer Clay may damage unprotected furniture or finished surfaces. Be sure to cover your crafting area appropriately. - Stir Liquid Sculpey® completely. Thin with Sculpey® Liquid Clay Softener as needed - Wash hands after use (we have found that baby wipes work best)

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.

Preheat oven to 300F. Pour 1 ounce of LS Clear into a mixing cup. Add Sculpey Clay Softener/Thinner and stir until smooth and pourable.

Pour the LS Clear into the tray. Tilt the tray until the bottom is evenly covered.

Add LS Peacock in lines and dots to create an interesting distribution of color.

Use the pointed end of the Etch & Pearl tool to make small swirls in the lines and dots.

Add accents of LS Gold in the open areas between the Peacock swirls.

With LS Pearl, make fine, squiggly lines over the design. Drag the pointed edge of the Etch and Pearl Tool through the entire design.

Add gold and turquoise glitter by sprinkling in tiny pinches high above the tray.

Bake at 300F for 15 minutes, cool and peel the sheet off the tray.

Paint the bottom of the tray with white acrylic paint. Press the sheet into the wet paint. Allow to dry for one hour.

Seal edges of the outside of the tray with packing tape, Mix Art Resin according to package directions. Pour the resin over the bottom of the tray. Cure 24 hrs.

Remove the tape and enjoy your beautiful tray.
