I am a little confused. So it will bake hard in my home over but i should not do it  |
It will back hard, but thinner parts will become fragile over time (or at least that's what I'm told) so it's better to have a piece cast and poured in resin, which is more durable over time.
Also .. here's a tip about baking, don't follow the instructions to the letter, it's better to bake a piece at 220 for 3rd more time longer period of time than at a higher temperature for shorter time.
Also have a large bucket or pot of COLD water (with ice in it even) ready and put the piece immediately into the cold water after baking. I know this sounds crazy, but I've actually found (with the few pieces I've done) that it will prevent cracking.
And take it from someone who tried to take the short cut, don't use a counter top oven ... use your stove oven, the piece needs air circulating around it to cure properly ... try to keep the piece in as close to the center of the oven as possible.
