<\/span>Besides allowing you guys to display your accomplishments and share stories of inspiration, these “Spot”<\/em> features can also be used for discussing problems that may come up with your polymer clay projects. My hope is for these “Show and Tell”<\/em> features to help strengthen the community by creating opportunities for everyone to interact in meaningful ways.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"Cracking<\/td>\n\n

I am hoping to find out what went wrong with these cracking Kato Clay<\/a> beads. I used Kato Pearl as I had a large block that needed using, and coated them with gold and silver powder. Cured them at 150c as it said on the packet, for one hour, and they have all cracked<\/a>. I have never really liked Kato and I won’t buy it again. I also mixed a little Fimo Quick Mix<\/a> with it. Please can you help?<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

So everyone… let’s get the problem solving started. If you need more information from Ritzs before you can provide some ideas for her to consider, be sure to ask. I can’t wait to see where this conversation goes. It will be fun to see what kind of suggestions you guys come up with.
