I think so. I've never done it myself, but here is a good resource: monsterkookies.blogspot.com/20…

Thank you for your detailed info about the TLS. I am beginning with polymer clay and have had some difficulty understanding what it was for XD

It really looks like a macaron!! So good! I want to eat it ^^

Not really. It will usually be a little bit shiny when compared with regular clay, but if you want it to have a nice glossy finish, you'll have to glaze it with some kind of clay glaze or clear fingernail polish.

Even see the process step-by-step, it still felt incredible...

Hmm.. Interesting macaroon. The ones I make are basically balls of coconut.And I mean real food, not clay
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what I originally thought of when someone asked me to make a macaroon tutorial and then they showed me these other funny looking ones that I'd never seen before. Now at least I've seen the real thing, but I still haven't tasted one.
Coconut macaroons, on the other hand-- delicious.

I think Ive seen the bread-ey part like a biscuty cookie (if that makes sense) but never with a filling.
And my favorite are my grandmothers chocolate ones!

I think I know the confusion. The coconut-y balls are macaroons, whilst the ones made here are actually called macarons (with one o)- but these days most people use the term macaroon to describe both (much to the chagrin of the French and patissiers).
I haven't had macaroons before, but macarons - good quality ones - are possibly the nicest thing you could munch on. Vanilla, salted caramel, lavender and white chocolate, mango and passionfruit, cookies and cream, watermelon, pistachio, mocha...literally any flavor you can think of. And it's all absolutely beautiful. Evil to bake from scratch though; one of the most technical and fussy baking you could ever do.

Hello, i was wondering if i can store the tls i made so i can reuse it in another time
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure, I haven't really tried storing it. I usually try to use up whatever I make whenever I make it. I'd say if it's in an airtight container, it should be fine. It might get hard or dry out over time, but if you're using it within a few days, I think it would work.

Hi! This tutorial was featured in the article Polymer Clay Food Tutorials Collection for #projecteducate . This is a very outstanding tutorial, and your kindness to share your techniques is admirable. Keep up the good work!

Hmm, but when I use TLS and bake it, even when it's only a thin layer, it does'nt turn out translucent D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Interesting... Both Liquid Fimo and TLS should turn translucent. They're not transparent (sort of a slightly opaque/foggy translucent) but you should be able to see light through it (unless you add a ton of chalk to it-- that might make it look more like dried paint). Try increasing the baking time/temp ever so slightly and see if that helps at all.

sorry, no. not if you want to use it to mix it with the clay. if you just want to drizzle it like syrup and let it dry (without baking it again) that should be fine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok so first bake the clay and after that the glue (can i mix the glue with pastel collors) lot of question lot of questions....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup! just as long as you're not planning to bake it again after you've got the glue on there. (sorry for the long delay in replying...)

You know, I've been aondering about the macaron thingies because everybody is making these in clay, but I only know a type of noodle called "macaroni". These don't seem to be noodles, though. I'll look it up later.
Anyways, I had also no idea what TLS was, and this tutorial helped me solved that as well as how to use it. And it was funny, so that's cool. Thanks!

I was wondering what TLS was so i looked it up and this tutorial came up, and now i feel like a moron because sitting literally three feet away from me on my shelf is some TLS. sigh. thanks for the help though!

Is fimo deco gel the same as liquid fimo? I'm really confused on what it is I should be buying.
or should i be buying TLS? *dies*
so many choices!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think deco gel is different. that sounds like something that can't be baked. liquid fimo is the fimo brand equivalent of sculpey's TLS (translucent liquid sculpey), and liquid fimo can be baked. i prefer liquid fimo over tls.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've tried both. they all do different things. it's very useful to have all of them. Thanks for your help

Some of the TLS on some of my creations are all cracked up now. Do you know how I can prevent this from happening?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've had that happen, too... i've mostly seen it with my TLS creations that have pastel chalk added to them. i think my problem was that i added too much pastel chalk. (sorry for the long delay in response time... )
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh no, it's okay! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It probably wouldn't crack, but I don't think you can bake paint. You might be able to with certain craft paints, but that's something I'd check labels for and/or ask about at the local craft shop.

if u used sculpey for a cake, is it ok to use fimo for the frosting? isnt the baking temp diff?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yup! the baking temp is the same. well, the packaging might tell you that it's different, but baking at about 225 fahrenheit works just fine for both. anywhere between 175 and 250 will do, just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly and don't go higher than 250 or you risk burning the clay. =]

TLS is that like PVA Glue or something? Keep up with the great work.

OMG YOU TOO I NEVER ATE ONE EITHER!!!!! *HIGH FIVE*
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Great - thanks. Though if you can't get your hands on rubbing alcohol, would something like nail polish remover do? That probably sounds silly, I know...but I'm trying to think logically. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm... lol i'd give it a try with just a little bit of it. if nothing dissintegrates, i think you're good.

Hey =3
I was just wondering, where can I buy TLS? (By the way, I’m living in Canada, Quebec) because I had searched in shops where I usually buy my clay, but I didn’t find any. Help please? xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
