Premo Sculpey
What is Premo Sculpey?
This top-of-the-line polymer clay represents the culmination of several
years' research and development, putting the talents and expertise of
Polyform Products up against the most stringent demands of clay artists.
The results are clear; if you need and want the best, use Premo Sculpey.
Characteristics
Premo Sculpey comes in an artist's color palette of 32 colors, modelled
after oil paints and designed to make mixing a snap. In addition, we
offer you seven special-mix colors. A Bleached Translucent
contains a whitening agent that makes the clay whiter before and after
baking, with less "ambering out". As additions to your creative
palette we offer a Base (no pigment), Dark
Ochre, Gray, Navy Blue,
Sap Green and a Medium Red Brilliant. Paint
palettes can be followed predictably. Mix Premo Sculpey with other polymer
clays, Pearl-Ex pigments, or embellish with foils for interesting colors
and textural effects. Colors are intense - heavy pigmentation allows
Premo Sculpey to achieve and hold unparalleled detail in millefiori
reductions with no "greying out". Premo Sculpey's lustrous
Gold and Silver set the standard for jewelry work.
Premo Sculpey conditions quickly without additives.
This clay responds to hand heat much more quickly than other clays.
"Sculpting in color" is a joy as Premo Sculpey responds to
the movements of your hand or tool and holds a sculpted line without
"filling in". Seams are quickly and easily blended and hidden,
with very strong welds. Some clays lose their integrity if leaching
of plasticizer is necessary. For these applications Premo Sculpey is
ideal. Premo Sculpey doesn't drag on the slicing blade, allowing fine
accurate slices. Multiple baking using the "layering technique"
is possible; easily add new clay to baked pieces and rebake.
Curing
Bake Premo Sculpey at 275F (135C) in a preheated oven for 30 minutes
per 1/4" of thickness. Once cured, some colors may intensify and
deepen. Natural baked finish is a very smooth "eggshell".
Glazes and acrylic paints may be applied.
Strength and Flexibility
Cured Premo Sculpey has great tensile strength yet retains some flexibilty
in thin areas. Very delicate work is possible over armatures. Molds
and stamped designs can actually be stretched due to Premo Sculpey's
"pattern memory".
