@misscraftastic Are you sure you were you using the PaperMate FlexGrip? Many brands do melt in the oven, but this brand didn't used to. It's possible they've changed the way they make the pens, though. If so, you might look at my blog for a list of other oven-safe pen brands. The other thing I'd recommend is to get an oven thermometer and make sure your oven isn't running hot. Good luck!

I have researched polymer clay and have found your site the most informative. I have an opportunity in working with it. Wish me luck.
