[Nfb-krafters-korner] Polymer Clay - No Microwave Oven

[Nancy Yeager]

Good Morning,
 
In my email the other day I mistakenly said that you could bake polymer clay
in a microwave oven.  Please don't do that!  I should have said, as pointed
out by Joyce, that you can use a toaster oven or clay oven.  I don't know
what happens to the clay if you microwave it but several instructions that I
have read over the years have said not to do it.
 
Concerning making buttons, you would want to make the holes for attaching
them to the sweater before baking.  Also, I don't know if you would want to
put the garment into the clothes dryer as their are temperature limits on
some types of clays once made into pieces.  Not sure about that, however.
That information would be on clay package.
