Re: About The Strongest Polymer Clay

Hi,simgarie.
Thank you very much for posting this link. It was very good value to read.
In Australia there is a general lack of choice. I've never been fond of the choice here and that article verified my suspicions.
How about some profile info'? Don't be shy.

Re: About The Strongest Polymer Clay

Simgarie I have seen those tests you did and really think they are great. It is so cool to see just how strong the different clays really are instead of just going on the word of the manufacturers.

Re: About The Strongest Polymer Clay

Alas, no test for prosculpt or puppenfimo!

Or tests using mix quick which does seem to add strength and flex to most polymer clays.

Cool tests though!

Sadly, it looks like all the clays used were the old formulas though ... will you be redoing this test with all of the new formulas next? If so, would love to see the differences - as we have already seen a rather marked difference with them.

The temps are kooky for the new formulas too. lol.
