What is the best polymer clay in your own experience for making non brittle pendants? - jewellery storage
I have tried Sculpey II (too sensitive) and tubes (soft) after long storage periods. I'm looking for durable jewelry.

Sculpey, Sculpey III SuperSculpey and brands are the weakest Fimo / lines after cooking, where it is thin or) projection (whole round bales, etc., is inherently strong forms.
The strongest brands / lines of Fimo today Polyclay Kato (Hobby Lobby and online), Premo, ** FimoClassic, Cerner, SuperSculpey-Enterprise (gray), and FimoSoft lesser extent.
(I do not know what happened to your fimo fimo, if not, should always flexible in time ... a lot tougher - because they were tampered with after they are cooled, OT aging naturally, just as "progress" to have or can begin to heal some of the heat too high or too much UV light. polymer clay "dissolve" even if they are in contact with anything that includes a solvent oil - the arrival began 6 months later. Some plastic wrap will do, and many rigid plastics will, too. I was extensively involved with Fimo wi heard more than ten years and not the softeningAge, it would be very curious to see what happens!)
You can add many details of all brands and lines of polymer clay polymer clay to read my online "encyclopedia" If you are interested:

(in addition to a brand or online, you can also use the category called "Force - rigidity and flexibility")
PS Oops, I forgot that there was a problem with the page on my site if they) with Firefox (3 so far at least! The information is there, but difficult, because a margin to read that we are trying still to understand.
PPS If you are interested in jewelry making, especially, here are some other web pages (on this issue and no problem with the format, even with Firefox):

Oh, and to ensure that it can correctly (because of incomplete polymerization of any fragile Fimo) make, take a look at this page on clay kitchen

** Premo had problems (with its recent restatement and it is too sticky to be), but resolved now ... some may still be on the shelves, though.

Tip: Mixing Fimo and Sculpey III and verify the cooking time and temperature control to ensure it properly cooked. The only time I went soft tissues is that they have been fully baker. Good luck
Kato clay treatment. I see the situation online.
