Baking instructions:
I bake my polymer clay at 110ºC for no longer than 30 minutes at a time. I baked the pieces for 30 minutes in total, in two stages of 15 minutes each.
For large pieces like this one, I place the piece in the oven and then turn the oven on so that the piece warms up with it, then count the baking time from when the oven reaches the desired temperature. You can also let it cool in the oven after you turn it off.
You can bake your polymer clay in a conventional kitchen oven.
