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.

How do you make polymer clay with cornstarch?

I am not sure what you mean about make polymer clay with cornstarch. Polymer clay is a clay already made. You can use cornstarch to avoid other objects like stamps from sticking to the clay when you make prints on clay. You just brush it on with a soft brush. It does not harm the clay, and after curing you can simply rinse it off with water.

No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens.

YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.

Clay pot fired in a kiln physical or chemical?

The firing of a clay pot in a kiln involves both physical and chemical processes. The physical process is the application of heat to the clay, causing it to harden and form a solid structure. The chemical process involves the transformation of the clay minerals into a more stable crystalline structure through processes like dehydration and recrystallization.


Feldspar mixing with water and producing clay minerals is mechanical or chemical?

The process of feldspar mixing with water and producing clay minerals is a chemical process. This is because the chemical structure of the feldspar is altered when it reacts with water to form clay minerals, such as kaolinite, illite, or montmorillonite.
