Liquid Sculpey

Translucent Liquid Sculpey (TLS)

Bakable Transfer & Color Medium

Translucent Liquid Sculpey (TLS) is liquid polymer clay, and it opens a whole new arena for artists and crafters alike! It is a bakable transfer medium for the new millennium! When artist's oil paints are mixed with it, it can be an enamel, a glaze, or a backfilling compound. When pigments or mica powders are mixed with it, it can be a stipple, a metallic glaze, or a grout for polymer clay mosaics.

TLS is a fantastic transfer medium, also. It is a terrific adhesive agent. Its adhesive qualities are activated only after baking. It increases the clay to clay bond between raw layers of clay, and when adding raw layers to previously baked layers. Baking temperatures are similar to solid polymer clay, but translucence increases when the temperature is bumped to 300 degrees for a short period of time. This technique takes careful attention and a well calibrated oven!

Example of Colored Pencil Transfer Technique

1. Color you design with colored pencils

2. Paint on Liquid Sculpey and bake

3. After baking, wash off paper

Example of how to fix figure by Sean Buford.

4th layer of Clay

Fourth layer of clay applied. Figure baked. Per Sean Bulked out legs, added ribcage, added bulk to shoulders.

Layer of Chain Mail Clay

Chaim mail clay applied, stamped & baked then drybrushed.

Tunic and Belts added

I am using different colored clay for the parts because when I paint the whole figure it will be better, I hope. I did do a little drybrush painting on the chainmail to be sure it was going to look alright. Other than that painting I will wait till he is finished and then paint him.

Creating the Mold
Mold Material OOMOOŽ Silicone Rubber
OOMOOŽ Silicone Rubber - No Scale or Vacuum Chamber Required
OOMOOŽ 25 & 30 are easy to use silicone rubber compounds that feature convenient one-to-one by volume mix ratios (no scale necessary). Both have very low viscosity for easy mixing and pouring, and vacuum degassing is usually not necessary. Both products cures at room temperature with negligible shrinkage and have good tear strength. OOMOOŽ 30 has a 30-minute pot life, with a six-hour cure time. OOMOOŽ 25 is a faster version, with a 15-minute pot life and 75 minute cure time. OOMOOŽ 25 & 30 are suitable for a variety of art-related and industrial applications including making molds for sculpture and prototype reproduction, casting plaster, resins and wax.
