We always strive to deliver fresh products, which sometimes results in Polymer Clay that is slightly softer than desired. Normally, Cernit Polymer Clay is stored in the warehouse for approximately 3 months after production to achieve the right consistency before being shipped. However, due to our dedication to always offering fresh products, Cernit Polymer Clay is often delivered directly from production at Zwajomi. As a result, it may feel like a pliable clay, but in practice, this can cause issues for some people when working with the product.

But don't worry, we have a solution!

Roll out the clay into thin slices and place them between sheets of paper, preferably white A4 sheets. Press them firmly and let them sit for about 10 minutes. You'll notice that the paper absorbs the oil from the clay. Then knead the slices again and repeat this process a few times. You'll see that the clay becomes firmer with each repetition. This way, you can quickly get started with our fresh product! Make sure to pay attention to the proper firmness of the clay. If you go too far, you can soften it again using Magic Mix 😉.
