Putting polymer clay in the freezer before baking it will make it more pliable. Below we have covered the basics you need to know on how to harden the clays with or without an oven. Before putting the clay in the oven, make sure to read the instructions because different types or colors of clays may have different baking temperatures. You should either use parchment paper or a glass dish.
To make sure the heat spreads evenly, center your sculpture in the baking tray. Place your baking tray in the middle of the stove too. For a better result, wrap them with a kitchen towel. Wait about minutes. After that, you might start with additional decorating. NB: Please avoid putting plasticine or oil-based clay in the oven. It may cause fire or at least will melt into a puddle.
So, how do you harden a non-hardening modeling clay without an oven? The process can be tricky at first, but once you get the hang of it, creating your own projects will become much easier! Standard modeling clay like plasticine cannot be baked. If you do not have a polymer clay dedicated oven, you should use a covered container in which to cure your clay items. The easiest is to use 2 foil baking pans. If you are working with polymer clay, you can harden up your sculpture to preserve it for life.
You can use any oven that will reach and maintain the correct temperature through the baking process. Small ovens are fine, but tiny ovens can cause more burning. When you assume you have polymer clay, but instead have plasticine, and then bake it in the oven, it will melt. The oil oozes out of the clay and drips down into a puddle.
The shape softens and slumps and cracks might appear on the surface. Most brands of clay have a bake time somewhere between minutes, depending on the thickness and color of the clay. As kitchen ovens can only achieve certain temperatures, it is best to use clay that can be fired at a low temperature around degrees celsius. Place the finished object in the oven for around an hour at this temperature or for up to 3 hours for thicker or larger projects. Your email address will not be published.

So after you take it out of the oven leave it somewhere undisturbed for a few hours until it is completely cooled down. Then you check how hard it is.
And if it is still brittle, then you might have miscalculated the baking time or used the wrong temperature. Also, not every Polymer clay brands will cure hard, there are some brands, that only cure medium-hard or even slightly brittle. So have a look at the instructions of your clay to see what kind of polymer clay you have. The short answer is yes, you can. If you have an armature or wires inside your polymer clay, then you can simply bake it in the oven without any problems. The only thing, that you should keep in mind is that polymer clay with metal in it will take a little longer until it is cooled down completely after baking.
So generally, metal will not hurt your polymer clay in any way. For most more complex sculptures you will actually need to use metal armatures. The only thing, that is a little different from metal inside Polymer clay is the time it takes until the clay is completely cooed down after you take it out of the oven. Because of the metal inside the heat is kept in the sculpture for way longer than usual.
So let it cool down properly before you use the sculpture after baking. The short answer is yes, you can bake polymer clay with aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not interfere with your polymer clay at all.
Just make sure, that you are careful when taking the foil out of the oven because it can be quite hot. If your polymer clay cracks after baking then you either used water on your clay, which puts a lot of stress on the clay in the oven which in turn will result in cracks or because your polymer clay was mixed with another kind of polymer clay, which could result in an unstable mixture and result in cracks as well.
