3️⃣ Tips for Conditioning Polymer Clay

1. If your edges of your clay are jagged, your clay is not fully conditioned

2. Always run your clay through your pasta machine with the crease on the side to prevent air from getting trapped in your clay

3. As a rule of thumb, you should be running your clay through your pasta machine AT LEAST 20 times (usually even more than that) do this until you have smooth edges around your piece of clay- that’s how you’ll know it’s conditioned.

Conditioning your clay helps prevent bubbles, and drastically increases the durability of your clay piece. That’s how you achieve the “bend test” results.
