SpeiserStudio 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 how does it hold up to water? Looks like a very versatile material. It is waterproof...it's like a flexible polymer plastic...well, I guess that's WHAT it is! It is used for sculpting, for thinning out polymer clay and when you bake it, it becomes clearer at a higher temp, not to exceed 300 f. I make wings out of it for other projects, and I am making some for flies to test it out. Regular polymer clay stays soft until you bake it and then becomes rock hard, this is flexible. It is called Translucent Liquid Sculpey or TLS. You can color it with pigment or oil paint, you can transfer an image to the underside surface of it, and after you bake it, as soon as you take it out, peel off the TLS and the image will be on it....yes, there are so many things! I love it LOL I am a sculptor and Artist..I do all kinds of things with all kinds of medium and I love to experiment. If you want to know more about it I would be happy to help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
