I'm having a really hard time getting primo clay to get soft enought to
do detailed work - it's really leathery and crumbly. (Did I get a bad batch?) What is the "softest" polymer clay out there? |

Sculpey 3 but it's not nearly as strong after you bake it. The premo
varies in softness a lot in my experience but not once you get it warmed up. Hold it in your hands for awhile before you start kneading, also try adding some liquid sculpey or diluent to it. I have some premo that is like what you're describing but I did get it quite soft after kneading it awhile and mixing with softer blocks/colors. Other premo I have is super soft right out of the package. Sometimes it can get exposed to heat and gets partially baked, then there's nothing you can do for it.

Aaron,
It sounds like you have a bad batch - probably got partially baked during shipment. I'd return it for new. ------- Barbara http://www.penguintrax.com Blog at http://www.penguintrax.com/chatter eBay & Justbeads ![]() 0 /O\ Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.
