This was the first translucent clay I came across and at first I was a bit confused as to what I was supposed to do with it. After much experimenting I found a couple of things that it works really well for:

Cernit - Glamour

Thanks for doing this test. I usually use Premo, and it’s good to know that it does well in the translucency test. I usually bake at 275°, but I’ll have to try it at 300°. Cernit Translucent Polymer Clay is one of the most transparent on the market. Its texture is remarkably soft and malleable, making it easy to work with. However, if it is very recently produced, it may need to be leached a bit before it can be used properly. I agree completely about Kato being hard, and it’s interesting about how hot you bake it. The tech guy (is it still Tony Aquino?) let me in on that secret years ago, but I didn’t realize you could go quite that hot with it. I think all the clays can go quite a bit hotter than the manuf tells us, but there are other changes, besides strenght and clarity, that happen, too. Each clay is so very different.

|Pardo, however, becomes much more clear when baked hot and is remarkably heat tolerant with little browning. Mix both Translucent White and White Opaline(Porcelain) together in equal parts, then mix into Cernit colors 1 -10 parts or more. Cernit Translucent: 14 transparent colours and one glow-in-the-dark colour. This range is very popular among artists due to its amazing transparency. This range is available in 56g, 250g and 500g (Translucent).Kato Polyclay was the most opaque of all the translucent polymer clays tested. It was not as tan as the Sculpey and Premo. It had more of a yellowish tinge. The color and opacity of Kato didn’t appear to change much during baking. It also tends to brown VERY readily when baked very long. It is indispensable for creating certain faux stones, for example, jasper or tiger eye. If the stone you are imitating does not require a high level of transparency, Kato translucent works well to create a realistic looking faux effect. Premo White Translucent is just as clear as Pardo Art Clay and depending on your use can give you remarkably clear results.

Cernit Doll: 7 colours that have a skin-like effect (slightly transparent) and one translucent flesh colour. This clay has an aspect very close to flesh, a porcelain-like finish and is totally suitable for creating dolls. Each piece weighs 500g. Kato translucent is a great clay to use when toning down colors and making faux stones like tiger eye and jasper. However that is about all you can use it for. It's terrible to use for polymer clay projects where you need clear translucent clay and has a horrible yellow tint to it.

In conclusion, if I had to recommend one translucent clay over the others to get started with, it would be Premo white translucent. On balance it gives the best results the most easily. Cernit does not contain any phthalates. Children should not be left without a watch while using the clay. This product must not be put in the mouth and we advise washing hands after each use. When you are done baking, the clay can still be worked with. It can be sanded, drilled, varnished according to the finish you like. For polishing, start with sanding the clay with fine-grain sandpaper. Finish with a polisher to get a maximum glossy effect. The clay could lose some of the glossiness. Then, it has to be polished again. The result will be the same as with varnish. However, the varnish will resist the rubbing and does not need to be applied again. Is Translucent Pardo Professional Art Clay the clearest translucent polymer clay on the market? Yes. And no. No other clay is clearer. Cernit is certainly just as easy to read through and is just as white. But it’s not better than Pardo. Premo White Translucent is just as easy to read through as Pardo, but it has a tint.
