| Characteristics
Granitex is the clay you can
take for Granite! Tiny fibers mixed into the clay  create
this unusual stone like effect. Mixing will not alter the
appearance of the clay; it will maintain the illusion.
This fabulous clay is easy to
condition and tool. Granitex is available in eight subtle,
pastel tones which can be painted with water base acrylics
and dyes if desired. Try mixing a bit of Sculpey III into
the Granitex to create your own tint.
Curing
Granitex should be cured in a
preheated 275 degree F (130 degree C) oven for 15 minutes
per quarter inch of thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE.
Use
Granitex can be used to make
figurines, jewelry, and home decor. Miniaturists have found
it very useful in making architectural detailing.
 Hint:
Use Blue Granitex to imitate Denim for clothing on figures.
Cover an inexpensive glass vessel with Granitex and decorate
it with Sculpey III flowers, birds, fruit, etc.
Rubber stamp Granitex with permanent
pigments to create jewelry, plaques, paperweights, and home
décor items. Kids enjoy customizing their light switch covers,
and Granitex is a great partner with charms, molds and small
sculptures.
Storage
Sculpey polymer clay products
should remain fresh if properly stored in a cool place, away
from heat and direct sunlight.
