Pardo, however, becomes much more clear when baked hot and is remarkably heat tolerant with little browning. I started this experiment fully expecting that Translucent Pardo Art Clay would be the clearest translucent polymer clay. So imagine my surprise when in this side by side direct comparison we see that Pardo Translucent Art Clay, while very transparent, is not appreciably more transparent than other brands, in particular Cernit and Premo. It is obvious in this photograph, though, that Sculpey III and Kato Translucent are not particularly translucent. (***See note below about Kato Polyclay.) Results by Brand Name Pardo Professional Art Clay Cernit is a popular clay among doll-makers because of its translucent quality and the porcelain-like finish it hasafter curing. Cernit Nature : 3 colours with a stone and dirt effect thanks to strands in the clay that allows an irregular aspect, similar to the one of a stone. Available in 56g. Is Translucent Pardo Professional Art Clay the clearest translucent polymer clay on the market? Yes. And no. No other clay is clearer. Cernit is certainly just as easy to read through and is just as white. But it’s not better than Pardo. Premo White Translucent is just as easy to read through as Pardo, but it has a tint.The Cernit clay polymerises between 110 and 130°C (230-266°F) in a preheated oven. Baking time is 30 minutes. The temperature should be respected as harmful gases could develop and the colour could be corrupted. Mix both Translucent White and White Opaline(Porcelain) together in equal parts, then mix into Cernit colors 1 -10 parts or more.

The less clear brands of translucent polymer clay work nicely for faux stone effects and to give a less chalky effect to your colors. |Amber, Emerald, Ruby … Translucent colours give you the look of precious stones. Slightly softer than other Cernit clays, the Translucent clay is particularly appreciated for its translucency. For example, Ruby Red is perfect for creating raspberries. When baking, the colour becomes partly transparent and this gives a very realistic effect. Leave the clay as it is or lightly sand it to obtain a different smooth effect and even more transparency. Once sanded and polished, the translucent colours look like the precious stones they are named after. Sapphire, Amber … When you are done baking, the clay can still be worked with. It can be sanded, drilled, varnished according to the finish you like. For polishing, start with sanding the clay with fine-grain sandpaper. Finish with a polisher to get a maximum glossy effect. The clay could lose some of the glossiness. Then, it has to be polished again. The result will be the same as with varnish. However, the varnish will resist the rubbing and does not need to be applied again.I agree completely about Kato being hard, and it’s interesting about how hot you bake it. The tech guy (is it still Tony Aquino?) let me in on that secret years ago, but I didn’t realize you could go quite that hot with it. I think all the clays can go quite a bit hotter than the manuf tells us, but there are other changes, besides strenght and clarity, that happen, too. Each clay is so very different. As soon as your piece of clay is baked and maybe polished, you can still work on it by adding acrylic paints, oil paints, mica powders or varnish. Please note that this clay cannot be baked in a microwave oven. After baking, the clay is waterproof. Also, it can be baked several times if you wish to add bits to your work. Sculpey III is an inexpensive hobby clay that is disliked by serious polymer clay artists, so I was not surprised at its poor performance. I’ll leave working qualities for another day. But for now, it’s obvious how this is a strongly colored, quite opaque clay. Premo Translucent

Cernit does not contain any phthalates. Children should not be left without a watch while using the clay. This product must not be put in the mouth and we advise washing hands after each use.I didn’t write this article to compare the physical qualities of the different translucent polymer clay brands. They are very different and sometimes you have to choose your clay based on factors other than translucence. That is part of the art of polymer clay. It’s a highly technical medium that is easy to dabble in but it takes a lot of experience and experimentation to know which materials to choose and how to manipulate the materials to get the results you want. Discussing the features, qualities, uses, and performance of the different brands is something I’ll leave for another day.
