HOW TO USE YOUR SILKSCREENS ON POLYMER CLAY:
1. Place the silkscreen shiny side down on your clay and burnish the silkscreen lightly so it makes full contact with the clay.
2. Put a line of paint along one edge. I recommend heavy body paint in a tube, but most paint will work fine if it is not too thick. A Thin paint will bleed under the silkscreen distorting your image.
3. Pull the paint across the screen with a squeegee or old credit card. Scrape excess paint off before lifting the screen or it can cause bubbles or texture and image to slip or shift.
4. Remove the screen by slowly lifting it up from one corner. Once removed, DONT let the paint dry, place the silkscreen in a dish of room temperature water until you can rinse it out.

Note:

• Please allow for colour differences between screens.
• Materials may change without notice.
