History
You asked for it
– you got it! We were asked
by artists to create an American-made polymer clay that would
be versatile enough to satisfy the needs of all polymer clay
enthusiasts. Impossible!, we thought… Let’s do it!
You wanted easier workability
and no crumbling – you got it! You wanted strength and
durability after baking – you got it! You wanted value
for your money – you got it!
After 1,000 days of research
and testing, it’s here. And there is only one word for
the best – Premo!
Characteristics
Premo! Sculpey quickly reaches
a workable state with minimal conditioning and remains soft
and pliable while offering extra resistance without crumbling.
Hint: Conditioning of all polymer clays may be facilitated
with the use of a pasta machine. Simply cut the  block
in half and feed each half through the largest setting. Repeat
10 times more and your clay should be conditioned.
It is
available in 32 colors, including a lustrous Gold and Silver,
and a series of pearlescent colors. Its artists’ color
palette is modeled after oil paint colors and designed to
make color mixing a snap. Mix Premo! Sculpey with other polymer
clay colors, powders or pigments for interesting colors and
textural effects.
Sculpting is a joy as it responds
to the movements of your hand or tool and holds a sculpted
line without "filling in." Jewelry makers will enjoy
the ability of Premo! Sculpey to be used in their Millefiori
and caning work in canes of 10, 15, and 25-pound sizes or
more. Premo!  Sculpey
canes are best cut with a very sharp blade using a rocking
motion. A little practice makes this technique second nature!
And to top it off, creations
made from Premo! Sculpey will be around for a long time, because
it is formulated to be what we feel is the strongest and most
durable polymer clay around. Premo! Sculpey is not brittle
after baking. In thicker areas it is hard and rigid and in
delicate areas "flexes" to reduce the risk of breakage.
Whether you’re a sculptor
or craftsperson, beginner or professional we think you will
love the benefits of Premo Sculpey.
Curing
Premo! Sculpey should be cured
at 275 degrees F (130 C) in a preheated oven for 30 minutes
per quarter inch of thickness. DO  NOT
MICROWAVE. Once cured, the colors intensify and deepen.
Use
Use Premo! Sculpey for jewelry,
home decor, and sculpture. Dollmakers may mix Translucent
Premo! Sculpey with Super Sculpey for increased translucence
and strength. Premo! Sculpey is very beneficial used as a
"backing," providing greater strength and stability
to the item being produced. The lustrous Gold and Silver colors
make Premo! Sculpey perfect for jewelry.
Storage
Sculpey polymer clay products
should remain fresh if properly stored in a cool place, away
from heat and direct sunlight.
