I used Premo and Liquid Kato. I'll edit the post and point that out.

I tried a machine wash/tumble dry experiment with some buttons I rec'd in a swap once. They didn't fare very well, but I think they were "hobby grade" PC.

It's an interesting idea. . . <BR/><BR/>I imagine that sandwiching a little wire or wire mesh between two layers of clay could make the buttons even stronger. So far, it doesn't look like they absolutely require that, but I can't see how it could hurt.

I'm curious: do they need anything placed inside of them for extra strength and reinforcement? Like wire or something like that?<BR/>Thanks!<BR/>Karenartandteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350259339476430261noreply@blogger.com
