Q: is it true that one needs a separate oven just for baking polymer clay?

No, it's not true. But it may well be convenient to have a separate oven. The clay was designed to be baked in a home oven and that's how I do mine. I definitely am looking into getting a toaster oven for my clay, though, because it would be easier to have a portable oven in my craft space to bake whenever I want and not have to run back and forth to the kitchen. I would also be able to take it with me to craft in other places without having to use anyone's home stove. But if all you have is a home stove - tha's fine. Just make sure you don't burn the clay - that is when toxic fumes may be released. And make sure whatever tools and stuff you use for the clay remains for the clay only - don't get your clay stuff mixed up with your regular dishes. My clay tools (containers, knives, cups, plates, tiles, etc) are all kept in my craft space and labeled (as needed) that they are for clay or crafts only. Happy crafting!

Q: What is the best paint to use?? acrylic paint stays sticky after drying because it is water-based, and polymer is oil-based. please help!

You are first supposed to bake the clay. I use a toaster oven. 325 degrees per 1/4" thickness off project for 20 min. or a half an hour. It is written on the package. Acrylic paint dries quickly. It will not be sticky.

Q: Will this crack after drying? I've used other poly clays that crack or crumble when dry.

If you have trouble with this clay and would like to try another, let me know and I'll let you know where you can get it, the name, and price. I've started useing it and love it. It' easier to work with.
