@mzpumpkin19 No, you need to bake it thats how it gets hard therer is no other way to make it hard D: Leaving it in a cool dry place wont do anything but make it collect dust, but also im pretty sureif youdont have like a stove oven a easy bake oven or even a tgoster oven could work just it would take longer. Hope this helps :)

Sorry, but you have no clue and are misleading folks who might actually want to learn about polymer clay. There is no polymer clay that cures properly in only 12 mins. It may harden somewhat, but not even close to curing. If you read any of the clay manufacture packaging, you'd see that it is at LEAST 15 mins per 1/4 inch of clay baked!!!
