Vid #040: Don’t Trust Just Any Plastic Wrap When it Comes to Storing Your Polymer Clay Canes:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Plastic wrap works great to help protect those beautiful canes that you worked long and hard to create. However, be<\/span> careful which brand you choose. Certain types contain plasticisers that can chemically bond with the clay and cause your canes to go brittle in some cases and rubbery in others. Neither is good.<\/span><\/p>\n

So how can you tell which brand to use? Look at the fine print on the underside of the box for the words, “Does Not Contain Plasticisers.”<\/em> Glad Cling Wrap is a safe bet… at least it is at the grocery store where I shop. I can’t tell you for sure if all Glad Cling Wrap is the same, so be sure to check for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another brand I’ve purchased is called Resinite. It does not say anything on the box about plasticisers one way or the other. But I can tell with certainty to NOT use this brand for wrapping your polymer clay canes. Ask me how I know :-(<\/span><\/p>\n
