I'm going to assume that you mean in an oven, the answer is no. I tried one time to put an oil based clay snail that I made in the oven, it melted into a puddle.

Yes , you can heat slightly to soften to form but not the finished project because of above comment

What is the chemical structure of polymer clay?

Polymer Clay is basically polymer vinyl chloride, a type of plastic. There are ground up pigments as well as a liquid plasticizer- all clay manufacturers have a "secret formula" that they won't share with the public. The main thing to remember is that when you fire the clay in the oven, you are "burning out" the plasticizer that is liquid, and all that is left is the pigment and the PVC which bonds together in the low heat.


Is modeling clay the same as polymer clay?

No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.

How can you harden an oil based modeling clay?

Useful for many moldmaking and sculpting undertakings. Unlike water-based clay, oil-based clay will not harden and may be used repeatedly. It is ideal for temporary molds and models. Good for making dams when molding and casting. Soft enough to make impressions of leaves or other habitat materials. Several leading bird taxidermists, most notably Ed Thompson of Lilburn, Georgia, like to use oil-based modeling clay to set the eyes in their bird mounts. This gives them the freedom to slightly modify the eye angle or depth after the bird has begun to dry. Roma Plastilina Modeling Clay is the number one choice of discriminating sculptors everywhere. Grayish-green color, medium firm.* http://www.taxidermy.com/cat/16/oilclay.html
