Also finally managed to upload the tutorial for my sponsors.
Taped half of the tutorial for tomorrow.
I got the printer in the afternoon but didn't even get around to unpack it. I didn't get to eat until 4 pm. Honestly I was a little bit wary about eating as I didn't want to get sleepy (which, now, I am. sigh) but I think I did accomplish a lot.My back muscles are BURNING though. I really need to drop everything and lay down.
Here's for you, some of the testing pieces. Yes they don't look that neat, because what I was interested in was the way it applies, how it reacts, colors, etc, not prettyness. I love it. There are two pieces of scrap clay that I tried to see the applying metallic waxes and acrylic how that goes, how cleaning of metallic waxes and acrylics from the enamel goes, etc etc etc. Enough said, you'll see a pretty piece soon. Until then, this is how it looks like. Finally. A REAL ENAMEL that works on polymer clay. That we can buy here in the US!!!
I read that this enamel must be cured at 150 C which I think translates to 302F. Did you find this to be a problem with any of your polymer? Thank you!
ReplyDeleteNo, not at all. Remember it goes on polymer already baked. If you tent the piece you should be just fine. I have a small convection oven and use a ceramic casserole dish to bake my pieces, I never needed tenting or anything. Polymer clay will be fine at a higher temperature (of course not too high)for a little while. You can also go for a 285F-290F and just add an extra half an hour. I'm a little late in posting the final review because I had some health issues and lots of dr. appointments that ate into my time, but I promise it's coming soon.
