    Keep in mind when using Sculpey, Fimo, Cernit, Promat "clays" that they are
    not meant to be used in the kinds of thickness that clay is used. You
    should use armatures - anything that won't melt or burn at warm oven
    temperatures. These polymer clays should be rolled out to paper thinness
    and draped over a form. Other wise you are throwing away lots of dollars.
    I often start with a base of rolled alluminum foil and work my figures or
    objects over it. I suggest anyone who hasn't used these "clays" look at any
    one of the instruction books on the market. The New Clay by Nan Roche is
    excellent. This can be a very sophisticated medium. The possibilities are
    incredible.
