What we need

The problem of polymer clay for many people is having to bake. There is an easy and quick way to replace the use of a kitchen oven, so we need:

 01

A cardboard tube or cylindrical can

02

03

 

An incandescent bulb 40W or 60W. They serve low consumption bulbs or LED.

How does it work

 

We need an incandescent bulb because we need heat, and we need something cylindrical because we need to retain heat. Using a flexible lamp with the bulb plugging the tube outlet get that effect

The pieces to bake harden if introduced inside for a few minutes.  CAUTION! They will be hot and can burn.

Other uses

It can also be used with epoxy fillers as green stuff, Milliput, Magiic Sculpt etc. to accelerate hardening. In this case it is only necessary to bring the pieces near the bulb
