Product Information

While the baking temperature on the bottle’s label is as low as 265°F (130°C), I found that you will get a much clearer result when you bake at 300°F (150°C), regardless of brand. In addition to that, you can use a heat gun to further clarify thin coats.See examples below. With clear liquid clay, it creates more of a glass like effect.

I think the easiest way for me to describe this is to think of a raw gemstone with dimensional texture where you can see additional details beneath the surface layer, but not completely see through it. When tinted, you can create faux ceramic effects and translucent liquid also works better for image transfer because it is slightly opaque.

Coloured Liquid Sculpey is available in the UK but it took me a while to find any shops that sell it, and those that do, don’t have a huge range of colours. Craft Cellar sell a couple of Metallic Coloured Liquid Sculpey colours. Perles & Co sell the Glam Metallics and Primary ranges – they’re a French company which ship all over the world and from what I could see, the postage was pretty reasonable.

It can often have lots of tiny bubbles, but that seems to diminish in thin coats or when warmed very slowly. Because of this, it’s best used in applications where clarity does not matter. It can be used as a coating, but results are best when used quite thinly. TLS is matte after baking so it makes a wonderful matte protective coating for surface treatments. Just sponge on with a cosmetic sponge and bake. While TLS is matte when oven baked, but it will take on a slight shine, sort of like a satin, when a heat gun is used on it. Note the slightly grainy and perfectly matte finish that comes from using TLS as a coating. There is some cloudiness, but it is perfectly clear when sponged on and then baked.
