Tips to condition Kato PolyClay 1. Cut clay into slices and place on your work tile 2.

Use an acrylic roller (briefly) to compress and soften the clay (this begins the conditioning process and lessens crumbling) 3. Run the clay through your pasta machine on the thickest setting. Fold clay over and repeat, folded side entering the rollers first. 4. Change to the third thickest setting and repeat. Continue until conditioned. Your clay should now be soft, supple and ready to go. Uneven edges are normal. Here are color recipes to replicate some other commonplace polymer clay colors. Although they may not be an exact match, they are relatively similar. We also have a handy chart (you may want to click on the chart to enlarge it) so that you can mix your own custom colors.

Recipes for Kato Color Concentrates For dark colors such as Alizarin Crimson, a good starting point would be: 5 parts Kato Transclucent 1 part Concentrated Red Small pinch Concentrated Blue For a Navy color: 5 parts Kato Translucent 1 part Concentrated Blue 1/4 part Concentrated Red 1/4 part Concentrated Yellow Pastel colors can be created by mixing a small amount of the Concentrated color into Kato White. You can create your own deep metallic colors by using a 50/50 mixture of a current Kato metallic color and Kato Translucent, then mix in a small amount of Kato Color Concentrate. Because these colors have increased amounts of colored pigments, the possibility of hand staining increases. You may consider wearing protective gloves when mixing colors by hand.
