Polymer modelling clay, which is baked in the oven. Polymerising happens during baking. The clay hardens. It is liked for making decorative items such as jewellery (earrings, bracelets, pendants), figurines, accessories, miniatures or even for customization and restoration of furniture.

Children as well as adults or professional artisans or jewellery makers use this polymer clay. Polymer clay Cernit can be used from 8 years.

The large colour range allows begins and more experienced users to vary shades without having to mix colours.

Cernit Neon Light Series is the most neon of all polymer clays. Completely opaque after baking. The colours remain vivid, luminous, fluorescent. Under blue light, the colours are phosphorescent. Dress up your figurines with fluorescent clothing or create jewels for this summer. Neon Light clay is very fluorescent. The rendering is brilliant and contrasts perfectly with dark colours. Create a touch of light in your canes or use the fluo clays alone. Orange, green, yellow or pink, try to combine them with Translucent phosphorescent colour. Make fluorescent flowers as decoration with the Cernit ball tools. Even such strong colours do not stain. Your material, your hands and the surface have no colour residue.

If your Cernit clay has lost its flexibility, mix it with the Cernit Soft mix. They do not lose color intensity but become as flexible as before.

Once unpacked, the clay has to be kneaded in the palm of the hand before starting modelling so that it goes softer and easier to work with. The clay should be used with clean hands on a clean surface as well to prevent any dirt or dust to get in the clay.

Cernit can be moulded, sculpted, with or without tools, printed or mixed with stones, pearls, feathers, powders, paints.

The Cernit clay polymerises between 110 and 130°C (230-266°F) in a preheated oven. Baking time is of 30 minutes. Temperature should be respected unless harmful gases could develop and the colour could be corrupted.

Be careful, this clay cannot be baked in a microwave oven! After baking, the clay is waterproof. Also, it can be baked several times if you wish to add bits to your work.

When you are done baking, the clay can still be worked with. It can be sanded, drilled, varnished according to the finish you like. For polishing, start with sanding gently the clay with a fine-grain sandpaper. Finish with a polisher to get a maximum glossy effect. After some time, if it rubs clothing the clay could loose some of the glossy. Then, it has to be polished again. The result will be the same as with varnish. However, varnish will resist the rubbing and does not need to be applied again.

As soon as your piece of clay is baked and maybe polished, you can still work on it by adding acrylic paints, oil paints, mica powders or varnish.

Once the packaging is open, Cernit can be stored in that same package or in a plastic wrap, to the ambient temperature. You can keep it like that up to 3 months.
