Modeling clay? temp? time?

Question

i have some modeling clay here, like the cheap kind, not playdough, but modeling clay, i was wondering how long and what temperature i should put it in the oven for. i would like to keep it, and if it cracks is there any way i could fix it?

Answer 1

if your modeling clay does not dry out it is plasticine and if you put it into the oven it will melt. There is no way to harden it.

You only put sculpey/fimo and similar polymer clays into the oven.

Water based clay needs much higher temperatures, an oven is not enough.
