How long would you estimate a 1 1/2 inch tall, 1/2 inch thick Polymer Clay figure needs to bake?

This is my first time using Polymer Clay and the packages the clay came in do not say how long to bake it. Help please! Some parts of the figure (a sitting elf) are thinner and smaller than others but the main body is about 1/2 inch thick and 1 1/2 inches tall. How long would you recommend?How long would you estimate a 1 1/2 inch tall, 1/2 inch thick Polymer Clay figure needs to bake?
Hi, if you are using Premo clay, the rule is 30 min. per 1/4'; thickness.


As long as your oven is accurate, I would leave it in for at least 45 minutes. Premo is very durable and strong, especially in thin areas.


SculpeyIII clay says 15 min. per 1/4'; thickness. SculpeyIII is not as durable as Premo. SculpeyIII is very brittle after baking and not strong in thin areas.


In order to cut down on the baking times you can always use rolled up foil as an armature under the clay next time.
