This piece is gorgeous and magical!
What a lovely thing to say. 😊 Thank you, Heather!
Wanted to firgure out how to attach clay to glass, that would also be able to withstand small amounts of heat after its baked and glued... Perfect video! Thank you!
Thanks for letting me know you found the video helpful, Nicolle. Happy creating! 🙂
Thanku sooooo much for this video ..very very helpful !!😍
You are welcome, Kadeeja! Happy creating :-)
Thank you for sharing 🤟🏻❤️🥰💋
That’s my favorite super glue to use...not just on clay, but everything. Love the control of the gel too. Of course having been a chemist for Loctite doesn’t make me at all biased! lol ;-)
Yup, my favorite, too! That sounds like a fascinating job.
Adorable and thank you !
You are very welcome. Happy creating!
Beautiful. I am just now expanding on my limited skills, hoping to learn well enough to sell this coming fall at craft shows. Thanks for a great video
You are very welcome. I hope the craft shows work out well for you. :-)
Thank you! So nice to see someone speaking the truth about pc on glass or ceramic. So many artists show tutorials on mugs and such and leave out this all important fact. Do you find the Locktite gel hold up to hand washing very well?
I hand wash gently and haven't had any problems. Thanks for the nice comment, Cristina!
Keepsake Crafts by Sandy Huntress Great to know! Thank you Sandy :)
Hey helpful. 🙏🏼 thank you
You are welcome! Glad to know it was helpful. 😀👍 Happy creating.
Thank you for this very helpful video! I've used the liquid superglue and while it works, it leaves a white film on the glass- does the gel not do that? I'm definitely going to purchase some given that the liquid style super glue can be messy. Thanks again!
So glad you found it helpful! Yes, the gel also leaves a white film, but it's easier to not get it where you don't want it. 😃
Would the glue be effected by the heat from the candle? I realize it's not a lot of heat but I'm curious about even a little heat. Thank you.
I've used this candle quite a bit and haven't noticed any problems with the glue letting go.
Hi
First I want to say I LOVE your creations. I'm new to polymer clay so I find your wealth of knowledge extremely helpful. I do have a question about this video. I'm doing mug decoration and it seems that the stuff I'm putting on the mug is sticking quite well after baking, even though it doesn't surround the cup the way your votive design is. My question, do I have to remove the design after baking and glue it on so it will hold when washed.
Thanks for the wonderful comment, I’m glad you like my videos. 😊
That’s a great question, Bernadette! Yes, you really should remove it and use a strong glue like two-part epoxy to glue it back on. If it isn’t on there mechanically, it will eventually come off.
Happy creating!
@@SandyHuntress Thanks so much for your quick reply.
Sorry to ask, but when making polymer mugs, once the figures are glued onto the mug can you pour hot drinks into the mug? And which is a good glue to use? I can’t find sclupey or fimo glue in my country... I think we may have gorilla glue but I’m not sure how well it works
I'm not certain, but think E6000 would work well for that application.
Do you use a bakeable glue to keep all the different colored clays together or do they just bake into each other
Polymer clay bonds to itself when baked. There is also liquid clay that acts like a glue for the clay once cured in the oven.
I have glass vases that I have painted with acrylic paint and would like to make some handles out of Sculpey Air Dry Molding Clay. Can I mount these "clay "handles onto the vase and if so, how?
Sounds like an interesting project, Rhonda! E6000 would work, but a 2-part epoxy would be even better. You want to scratch off the paint on the areas you want the handles to stick. Otherwise they’ll stick to the paint and not the glass.
Hi there! If I use polymer clay to decorate a mug, once it’s been baked and glued, can you put that mug in the microwave to heat milk, tea, etc.? Thanks.
My first thought would be, “no,” it should be hand wash and no microwave.
@@SandyHuntress Thanks!
It's nice to see I have the right idea. My biggest question still is this... How do you clean the glass in the little nooks and crannies to make it look nice to sell? I've tried Qtips with glass cleaner and it leaves streaks and residue.
That's an excellent question! It's best to have the glass as clean as possible before adding clay to it. Training yourself to pay attention to the appearance of the glass while you are sculpting is helpful, too.
You can rinse pieces like this under water, then let them air dry. If there are hard to reach areas where super glue has seeped out, the tip of a craft knife and some patience will do the trick. 🙂
@Fulita76 have you tried like 90+% alcohol on a pointed q tip?
I know this video it relatively old but would using liquid clay or bake and bond help attach the clay better beforehand?
That’s a good question! Unfortunately, liquid clay would peel right off the glass.
@@SandyHuntress That’s sad, but thank you so much for answering! I appreciate it very much!
@@sadist8902 😀
Would i be able to put a thin glass in the oven if it’s low? Like a teapot or teacup?
Yes, it’s not a problem.
The only time it would be a problem is if the glass were sealed, because the air inside would heat up and expand and cause it to explode. Also if the class were very very cold, thermal shock could cause it to crack.
Thank you so much!
Awesome, Can I use it on mug of coffee ? Would it withstand hot liquid inside ? Also have you tried weldbond ?
Yes, you can use polymer on mugs. Weldbond or E6000 might be a better choice than superglue. :-)
Since the temp of the hot liquid wouldn't be about 212° F. there should be no problem.
Just keep the polymer decoration away from where lips would touch the mug.
@@SandyHuntress thank you so much highly appreciated 💐💐
have you ever tried bake and bond?
I have Bake 'n Bond, but my bottle is very, very thick, so I don't use it often. Someone just asked me about the difference between that and TLS. Maybe I should get a fresh bottle and do some experimenting.
What type of polymer clay is it? Thank you 😊
I mostly use Premo, but any good quality polymer clay will do. Happy creating!
Hi Sandy. I was thinking "Sculpey Bake & Bond" should work...at least I thought that's what it's for. Have you tried it?
Thanks for your awesome videos. :)
Hi Leslie, Thanks for the nice comment! I always thought Bake & Bond was for clay on clay applications, so never thought to try it in this kind of a use. My B&B is old, very thick and difficult to manage, so I rarely use it. Maybe I should get a fresh bottle and give it a try!
I may be wrong, Sandy. I've been looking for the video that I thought I heard it on however, no luck! I have a habit sometimes of thinking out loud and then I embarrass myself. ;) LOL
Haha, I do the same thing, Leslie. It's one reason I love communicating digitally, I can carefully think about and even research things before giving an answer. I think I might just contact Sculpey and ask them about the uses for Bake & Bond. Maybe before I do that I'll even go read what's on the back of the bottle, lol.
Read the bottle?...hey now, there's a concept! Why didn't I think of that? hahahaaa
Hi Sandy. Thought I would share a link with you to a new video by Polymer Clay TV with Ilyssa and Kira about Sculpey liquid polymer clays. Kira uses the liquid clay to adhere to the antique bracelet cubes.
How you bake it on glass please
Can I put a glass in oven?
Since glass doesn't start to melt until temps above 1400° F, it's just fine in a 275° oven. :-) (Think about your glass bakeware.) Once I was done sculpting I baked the glass piece with all the clay on it.

Thanks for your answer, it is a great work
I am using electric oven at 100° to bake polymer clay, i think it is fine to use glass in this temp., I will try it
Thanks again
I want to put polymer clay on a ceramic mug and then put it on the oven...will it adhere?
It will pop off after it is cured, unless you wrap it all the way around the mug.
Do you just bake it the way the clay requires?
Yes, just bake it according to package instructions.
Is it washable?
Good question! You can wash it gently, by hand. I often just dust these using a soft paintbrush.
