Fingerprints are the bane of my existence. I spend a lot of time sanding and buffing my beads to smooth away the offending marks. Each time I think, “why didn’t I just take a minute to get rid of these fingerprints before I put my beads in the oven. “Â
A few ways I minimize fingerprints on my polymer clay creations.Â
1. Use cornstarch – a little on the palm of my hand before I roll beads does wonders.
2. Use my finger to gentle rub against the fingerprint to smooth it out.
3. I use my acrylic dowel to roll over a bead to smooth out any rough spots.

why you don’t use latex gloves to roll your beads?
than there you will have no more problems with fingerprints.
that is a great suggestion, if you can stand to wear gloves while working. For some strange reason, I need to have my fingers on the clay to feel like I’m really creating. 🙂
