To see that testing video, see link just below today&#8217;s video.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The same sample chip from that testing done a couple of years ago, seems fine when you first touch it but gets sticky very quickly with handling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I promised back then that I would do a test with the same inks on raw polymer clay (basically heat setting it), to see if that made a difference. So here are my results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The color used was Opalite Vintaj Patina on raw Premo Polymer Clay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Vintaj Patina ink is a specialty ink used for putting on metal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It comes in many beautiful colors, that have a chalky type opaque finish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The patina ink will settle after sitting and needs to be shaken well before using. Shake until you hear the metal ball moving within the bottle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The sample was coated in the ink and baked at 275F for 1 hour.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">After coming out of the oven the ink was hard and shiny, though the color seemed to be somewhat hidden under a chalky layer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I let the sample sit for a few months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> The sample seemed to be fine when first touched, but after handling for only a short while, it too became sticky.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I am not sure if it is the warmth&#8230; the moisture&#8230; or the oils on your hand&#8230; but once you start touching it, the surface becomes quite sticky.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The chalkiness seems to come to the surface during baking and the color seems to almost disappear.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When the chalky surface is scratched however, the chalk comes off and the color is revealed underneath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Perhaps it is the chalky materials in the inks that cause that stickiness&#8230; not sure?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I know there are polymer clay instructors that use Vintaj Patina Inks on polymer clay in their tutorials, but so far with both of my tests&#8230; using it on baked polymer clay and on raw polymer clay&#8230; I am still not getting positive results.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So at this point, I will avoid using this ink on polymer clay and keep it for my metal, where it works beautifully. Might as well use it, where it works best!<a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RyT_EB3FewI?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=16935#video\">Is It Compatible With Polymer Clay?
