The finish of the Cernit Opaline is slightly translucent. The finish is perfect for your achievements such as jewels, figurines and decorative objects. Combine the colors together or the effects! Mix Opaline and Translucent in the same realizations to vary the transparency effect! In the light, you notice that the opacity is not the same. 

Cernit clay can be molded, sculpted, used with or without tools, textured, printed or mixed with stones, pearls, feathers, mica powders, paints, and more. After baking, the clay is waterproof and it can be baked several times if you wish to add bits to your work.

After baking, the clay can still be worked with. It can be sanded, drilled, painted, polished or varnished. Baked Cernit also keeps some flexibility and does not break easily. This is a huge asset for creating flowers, bracelets with no clasp or other fine jewelry that needs to keep a certain flexibility.

For polishing, start with sanding gently the clay with a fine-grain sandpaper. Finish with a polisher to get a maximum glossy effect. After some time, if it rubs clothing the clay could loose some of the glossy. Then, it has to be polished again. The result will be the same as with varnish. However, varnish will resist the rubbing and does not need to be applied again.

Cernit does not stain hands or tools and is odorless, even during baking.

Bake between 230°F and 266°F (110° - 130°C) for 30 minutes.  

Once sanded and polished, the pieces are very shiny, as if they were varnished.
