BEST TUTORIAL, guys stop looking this is the one. Thank you! I’ve been hurting my hands without knowing the heel trick!

[@safichii]

This is absolute GENIUS! and it's so nice to see a demonstration with a large amount of fimo, as most tutorial show mixing very small amounts. 100% can't wait to try this and thanks for sharing this amazing trick ❤

I was totally not expecting the foot I love this thank you for sharing 💖

Save the power of your hands, use your feet :) Why not, right? :)

Very good. I have a problem with 2 boxes of clay that I bought and I didn't sculpt anything for a while. it dried out, so praying This technique will help me get my clay working again... Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! Game changer!

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

You're welcome :)

Genius! My clay is sitting unused and unloved because of the arthritis in my hands! Why didn't I think of using my FEET?

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

Try it! :)

[@brianacpratt]

Oh my gosh - how clever! Why didn't I think of using my feet...my wrists thank you 😊

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

We should all find a way to make it work :)

I love it! What a great idea. I just found an old hand coffee grinder in my cupboard cleaning today. I'm going to try to break up my yucky clay in it then dance on it!

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

Thanks :) :) :)😀

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

Two in one! Softening the clay with exercise dancing!😀😀

[@onepartyroule]

Does it bake the same?

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

@@onepartyroule Yes!😀😀😀

[@onepartyroule]

@@anniecarmonalim8022 oh cool =) I will give this a go then - thanks!

[@NoNameIsBest89]

But does it still bake?

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

Yes! Try it 😃

that will only make the clay greasy. I think the problem is, like with most polymers, in hygroscopic nature of polymers. The solution is, as with many other polymers, to raise its temperature in a closed area, together with a silica gel pack to absorb the moisture released by heated clay. Just be careful not to polymerize the clay with too high temp, but in general higher temp with knock out the moisture quicker.
EDIT: my bad, PVC is one of the non hygroscopic polymers

[@anniecarmonalim8022]

Thanks for the comment. I have tried and tested these hard clays (Different brands) before I made this video. I follow the same baking direction the manufacturer recommended.So I am very confident to share this info to everyone :) God bless :)

I feel like you didn't watch this video

[@caeleyhouston3774]

We're trying to get moisture BACK into the clay,.

[@bialek.online]

@@caeleyhouston3774 i'm sorry, I thought she'd added oil to the clay, either way my comment is invalid, since PVC is one of the non hygroscopic polymers out there

[@fukncaeleybaaadass4497]

She did add oil. granted I usually use coconut oil because it's lighter then babyoil, it still works.
