Notes

When baking Sculpey Premo, use an oven thermometer to ensure that your oven temperature is indeed 275°. Oven temperatures can widely vary.
When working with Liquid Sculpey, make sure the oven is already preheated to 275o F. and ready to go when your design is ready to hit the oven. Some spreading of the Liquid Sculpey is natural but the longer it sits out the more it will spread.
