Well, not really baking. More like heating a polymer clay until it hardens in a low temp pseudo-kiln – i.e. my oven. The stuff is called sculpey – a clay-like substance for modeling in plastic. You mold it like clay and then bake it to harden it into a solid plastic. I wanted to make a “little plastic castle” – like in the Ani Difranco<\/a><\/b> song – so I tested it out a little bit last night.<\/p>\n

The instructions were clear – 130 degrees, for 15 minutes per 1\/4 inch thickness. Well, my test case was a little thicker than 1\/4 inch and my over starts out at 200 degrees – any lower than that falls into the “warm” catagory. So, I did a whole bunch of estimating with frequent checking – they made a big deal out of not over-baking. Finally just cranked it up and gave it another 5 mintues – that seemed to do the trick. Tonight I’ll try using a dremel on it and maybe a little painting, just to see what it can do. Should have a little plastic castle<\/a><\/b> by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

In other news…I did laundry. That was pretty much it. Oh, and watching Angel DVD – lots of ass was kicked last night in the episodes I watched.<\/p>\n

My neighbor Josh loaned me a game – X-Men Legends. Looks like fun – I’ll have to give it spin tonight.<\/p>\n

Back to work for me…<\/p>\n
