How long do you cook fimo for?

The baking time for Fimo clay depends on the thickness of your piece and the type of Fimo you are using. Here's a general guide:

Fimo Classic & Fimo Soft:

* Thickness: 3-5 mm (⅛-¼ inch): 30 minutes at 110°C (230°F)

* Thickness: 6-10 mm (¼-⅜ inch): 45 minutes at 110°C (230°F)

* Thickness: 10+ mm (⅜ inch and up): 60 minutes at 110°C (230°F)

Fimo Effect:

* Thickness: 3-5 mm (⅛-¼ inch): 30 minutes at 130°C (265°F)

* Thickness: 6-10 mm (¼-⅜ inch): 45 minutes at 130°C (265°F)

* Thickness: 10+ mm (⅜ inch and up): 60 minutes at 130°C (265°F)

Important Notes:

* Always refer to the specific instructions on your Fimo packaging. The manufacturer's recommendations are the most reliable.

* Use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.

* Do not overcrowd the oven. This can prevent the clay from baking evenly.

* Let the baked clay cool completely before handling.

* Always bake your Fimo clay on an oven-safe surface like a baking sheet or ceramic tile.

Tip: To avoid air bubbles, bake your Fimo clay in a preheated oven.

Remember that baking times are just a guideline. It's always best to check the clay for hardness and flexibility to ensure it's fully cured.
