I have polymer clay (sculpey brand) I use for sculpting stupid things and I was considering making some hides for our tarantulas with it and I'm wondering if it's safe to use with them.
I know it's not safe until it's cooked. I'm not sure yet if I want to coat it with ecoearth after I sculpt the cave/tree/rock/mushroom house? for them, haven't decided yet. But I'm curious.
I have different sealants I use after I'm done baking them like modpodge and I was thinking of using aquarium sealant if modpodge wasn't safe.
I'm considering just snatching bark off some trees around here, but don't think it'd be looked kindly upon, not really supposed to do that around here.
Thoughts? Advice?
Thanks :3

So I searched this "Polymer' and didn't find any threads on it, thus why I asked. Then I found some threads under clay and fimo which I think answered the "safe" question.
So now I'm just wondering about sealant. Would modpodge work well enough? I figure it needs sealing since I'd be painting it with acrylics. I only have two critters that require some humidity, the birdeater and the emperor scorpion. i would hate for it to break apart, or the sealant to melt (modpodge might if it's wet enough)
