Then add a piece of plain office paper ontop of the tile. Then your flat polymer clay piece. Then another piece of paper. Then lastly, the other tile, smooth side down.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Bake tile sandwich in the oven for one hour&#8230; at the correct temperature for the brand of polymer clay that you are using.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The piece will come out perfectly flat and smooth on both sides.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WyWJ20Q6ai0?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=16885#video\">How To Keep Bubbles Out Of Your Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=16901#video\">Fixing Bubbles in Your Flat Baked Polymer Pieces<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=105\">Avoiding Common Problems With Baking Flat Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=58#video\">Baking Polymer Clay Pendants in a Ceramic Tile Sandwich<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
