In this video tutorial, we are running a bit of an experiment, discussing the three brands of polymer clay FIMO Professional, Sculpey PREMO, and CERNIT Number One, by the end of this tutorial you will know which is the best and why!
Some useful links to our Etsy shop and Amazon affiliate where you can find clay(even in these hard times :D) as well as tools (includes my favorite toolset on Amazon) and of course some educational materials:

Amazon Affiliate (clicking on any of these links could help this channel get some money and survive! So please do so! IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING!):
My favorite Amazon toolset for Clay/Wax Carvers:

FIMO Professional Doll Art:

Steel ruler:

Books I found useful (somewhat...fair warning they are for artists that intend to draw, but the basic shapes of the muscles and positions are the same, so you stand to learn from it) and 1 is for beginners in polymer clay:

Scupley souffle is really good to! Thanks for the video.

@felipevv3415 8 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot for this video, never used cernit and I was very curious about it. Cheers

@_Velveteye Год назад

Thank you for this video! I too waws very curious and wanted to use different polyer clays for my future dolls and this helped greatly. Thank you

@Drakandia 3 года назад

This is Exactly the video i needed! I want to make figures that aren't allergic to being handled! Cernit it is, thank you for this! ^^

Well of course your sculpey broke during baking, aluminum bends easily when heated up, not to mention that a single twisted pair of aluminum is inadequate to hold that much material you've put on that sculpture. :D Sculpey is for modelling, so it tries to keep it's shape and volume as much as it's possible during the baking process. Make an armature frame that can take some weight, and it wont crack. (Edit): it is also worth to note that Sculpey is much better for painted minis, since baked Sculpey has a much more rigid surface.

Great to see a comparison video like this. I have only ever used Fimo but might look into trying some Cernit now. If you ever manage to get a hold of some it might be good to see how Cosclay compares as it's new to the market and claims to be extremely flexible when baked.

@TheEdgeofClay 3 года назад

Thanks, will do!

@lauripan517 Год назад

I've asked several people why my sculpey figures crack with time and they told me it doesn't. However, I have a crack on each of my sculpey sculptures. Thank you so much for this and for confirming the experience I also had. I've recently switched to Fimo to test it and appreciate you doing this. I've never seen the other brand of clay and will have to look for it.

@TheWoodlandWhisp 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much, I've always been a fan of sculpey for its variety of products. I was just shopping for new clays though and was indecisive between cernit and fimo. I think I'll go with cernit.

@RosasUtopia 3 года назад

Nice review to see strength. Have you tried Kato?

@TheEdgeofClay 3 года назад

Haven't yet, will do as soon as available, will be doing a review on cosclay soon, maybe kato after.

@01forest 2 месяца назад

do you guys think coating the thinnest Fimo test with UV resin would make it very very difficult to break?

@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 3 года назад

Fimo pro is nice only when it is freshly conditioned, if you make a cane and save some for later,a week or more it firms up so much the it just cracks and crumbles When you take slices of the cane or try to reduce it further. Color they sell are very nice and make beautiful blends And the Clay is quite strong wind properly baked , I don’t use it anymore because of the conditioning and crumbling problem even though the clay is perfectly fine they’re not dry or hard you don’t use it as soon as you condition it it’s not a very pleasant experience

@TheEdgeofClay 3 года назад

I have not encountered such issues, I don't really do canes. But I know from friends that they prefer cernit or premo for canes! Thanks for the comment, hope you enjoyed the video!

@mystikalgoddess 3 года назад

I always warm up my older canes regardless of brand and reduce them a bit to recondition it.

@eleayafrost7951 3 месяца назад

What would happen if you mixed cernit, say the translucent one, with Fimo? Would it make it stronger? Would the baking time make a difference? I'm in the UK too and the Cernit range is minimal at best here and very expensive. Fimo is the cheapest and easiest one to get.

@m.c.5124 2 года назад

Sorry to compare but Ace of Clay uses Sculpey all the time. As do many American artists. I wonder if its how they are shipped. Thank you for your information!!!

@TheEdgeofClay 2 года назад

hello, sorry for late answers, life and kids take the time these days. sculpey is very good for details but is very weak as a material, in time if the sculptures are medium to large they will deteriorate very badly, my older pieces went to the dumpster due to massive cracks. With cernit I have had zero issues, only thing that is very important with this brand is the preparation stage, kneed it well, I mean when you think it is ready, keep playing with it for a bit longer, that will ensure awesome pieces!

@yasminc.89 Год назад

If it begins to smell like chemicals in the oven, then either the baking time is too long or the temperature is too high. From my experience,for thinner claypieces like maybe 3 cm, 15 min baking time is enough. For thicker pieces I would use 30 min, but never baking over the max. temperature.

@BlueKungFu 3 года назад

If you bake the Fimo professional for 2 hours it becomes much stronger.

@TheEdgeofClay 3 года назад

That is not what the manufacturer recommends, but hey, you do you, just be careful not to burn the house down!

@BlueKungFu 3 года назад

@@TheEdgeofClay No it's not what the manufacturer recommends however polymer clay only burns if the oven is too hot, not with the length of time it bakes for. I always bake my clay for two hours, as do many professional polymer clay artists. I have never burnt the clay, not once.

@TheEdgeofClay 3 года назад

I get you and it probably is an ok practice for making beads and stuff, i would not recommend that for sculptures as you are going to bake it multiple times, not against it, just do not see the point outside of specific 1 time bake products.

@BlueKungFu 3 года назад

@@TheEdgeofClay I don't make beads, I make sculptures. It is especially important for sculptures that they are properly cured or else they will start to crack & break after a time. If your polymer clay is cracking or breaking it means that it has not been baked enough. Fimo professional is incredibly flexible & strong once it has been baked long enough. If it's breaking like it did in your test, it's because it hasn't been baked long enough. Run your test again except this time bake it for 2 hours & you'll see the difference.

Sorry I couldn't answer yesterday, new dad and had to go to an appointment with baby. I will try this out, sometimes I teach, sometimes you guys teach me! So i will experiment that!
