I don't have any problems baking kato poly clay except when it comes to the translucent clay. It just turns yellow! What am I doing wrong?

- Jessie

Try baking the translucent Kato Polyclay™ at a lower temperature and for a longer period of time. The lower temperature will help reduce the chance of yellowing and the longer time will ensure the clay cures properly.

Some artists believe tenting the translucent clay with foil also helps prevent yellowing.
