Review on Translucent Sculpey Premo Polymer Oven-Bake Clay - Non Toxic 2 oz. Bar - Ideal for Jewelry Making, Holiday Crafts, DIY, Mixed Media, and Home Décor - Premium Quality Clay for Artists and Clayers by Kristen Reid

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not the best, but far from the worst.

Bought several brands of clay, grew up on Sculpey and with my adult frontal test decided to try something new for my current needs. I used a pasta machine to roll out multiple layers of each piece to the same size. 1 inch by 1 inch. Then I baked them individually at the right time and duration. The Sculpey and Premo brands are known for being brittle, which is why I tested them. I did a second clay burning test. Sculpi had the strongest odor, burned the fastest, and was the only one to char and leave a black film on parchment cooking paper. Premo remained flexible, Fimo was flawless in this competition, and Sculpey III was brittle even when properly cooked. As far as sculpting and conditioning goes, Sculpey was by far the easiest, but there was little difference in time and effort. Sculpey was softer so fine detail was harder to get at without letting the clay rest once you ONLY softened it enough to work with. Premo also suffers from this. My workspace still has room for everyone, but there are better putty to work with.

Pros
  • Sculpey Premo is available in 54 bold colors including glitter, metallic, pearlescent, granite and translucent shades. Translucent gives a unique translucent effect to any piece of stoneware, from jewelry to home decor!
Cons
  • Dodgy purchase for elderly

Clay was very very hard. Not usable at all. It was for my niece and she could not use nor return.
