Ginger, THANKS! What patience you must have to so meticulously do these experiments! They are helpful beyond belief! I’ve done marbling which included both Kato and Pardo and then polish with the ultra high micro grits and then buffed. The surface was not completely flat on a micro level because the Pardo wore away more than the Kato. And yes, it’s hard to keep a shine on a surface that’s soft…even normal wear will dull it straight away. In conclusion, if I had to recommend one translucent clay over the others to get started with, it would be Premo white translucent. On balance it gives the best results the most easily.

The shiny is different from the glamour due to the thinness of the glitter in it and the effects of the colour.

Because of this, Premo white translucent is best used in polymer clay projects containing blue and green tones. It can look a bit strange if mixed with the warmer side of the color spectrum. However, each of the translucent clays reviewed has its own strengths and weaknesses. You should aim to try them all out to see which one you are most comfortable using for different polymer clay projects. It will be well worth the effort. Kato translucent is a great clay to use when toning down colors and making faux stones like tiger eye and jasper. However that is about all you can use it for. It's terrible to use for polymer clay projects where you need clear translucent clay and has a horrible yellow tint to it. Cernit Soft Mix: a clay softener that does not change the colour of the clay. You can mix up to a third of the softener with 2/3rd of polymer clay Cernit. This way, the clay will be easier to work with and softer. The plasticity of the clay is increased.
