Hi Matt,

Although I know nothing about Polymer Clay I would say firing it in the microwave wouldn't work. But don't take me word for it. :P

Anyways, how are you? How was the move?

Hey Matt, Hope all is well.
I didn't realize that day I saw you on the street was your last day.
What kind of clay?  The japanese have these kilns for microwaves called Hot Boxes, as far as I, these are not available in the States at this time but they are coming. You could do metal clay in them. 'Til then, those small torches are cheap and work great; or your gas burner on your stove, or the propane grill is worth testing out - directions for this are on the Art Clay forum.
Hope to see you.

Sup West Sider,

I'd pretty much suggest that you ride your bike over to the local IGA and buy several packages of medial quality lighters, then invite all of your friends over to your house.  At that point, everyone can hold a flame to your piece and help you out.  This method takes a long time and can be tiresome, but it truly is well worth the extra time and effort.

Them and those, there.  :icon_32:
Muhahahah

This is an obscure hello from your old friend Matt... specifically to Heidi and Nicole since you two will be reading this.  I'll try and get out some emails on my next couple days off.   Ummmm, can I fire my clay artwork in the microwave? ':)'  Bye

Matt

Hey Matt,

Looks like you already have lots of good advice on how to bake your clay!  

Hope things are going well for you on the west side of the mountains!
