What is the difference in using polymer clay stamps vs. bisque?
Each material is best for different uses. Please read the information below carefully before purchasing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POLYMER CLAY:
These stamps are beautifully smooth and deliver fine, crisp detail. The stamps themselves are almost impossible to break. The larger stamps in my shop and the coil stamps make great designs on just about any clay. These stamps are also great for metal clay. They also ship out more quickly than bisque stamps.
Some of the very finely detailed poly clay stamps have a tendency to stick to both polymer clay and ceramic clay. To work around this: when working with ceramic clay, lightly coat the poly clay stamp with oil or corn starch. When working with polymer clay, press the stamp firmly into the clay and allow the clay to cool in a refrigerator for a few minutes.
> Polymer clay stamps are NOT recommended for food use.

BISQUE or HIGH FIRED FOR FOOD:
I have never had a problem with a bisque stamp sticking to any clay except metal clay. With all other clay I've used they release beautifully. The stamps feel great to use and deliver a deep, clear impression. They don’t really build up any clay residue. I prefer using these stamps when working with ceramics. Also, they make great cookie and fondant stamps.
The detail is not quite as fine with bisque stamps. Though this usually is not an issue with ceramics that will be glazed, sometimes graininess or other slight imperfections show up when using them with polymer clay (but clay is very forgiving and easily smoothed!).
> These stamps need to dry out and then be specially fired in a local pottery studio’s kiln, so please see shop policies for FAQs and my turnaround on orders: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GiselleNo5/policy
> Do not use bisque stamps when working with metal clay.
> Clean stamps with mild soap and water and a soft brush, and dry thoroughly in between uses.
> If you're planning to use the bisque stamps on food, please let me know in notes to seller at checkout so that I can fire your stamps at a higher temperature. Be aware that the higher temperature causes the clay to shrink and compress, so high-fired stamps are slightly smaller than either the polymer clay or bisque stamps.
> To avoid cross-contamination, please purchase separate stamps to use on food and for work with clay.
