(Duh, how's that for stating the obvious? Let me try again...) Are you using a regular oven or a toaster oven? Toaster ovens put the heating element closer so you have to watch it closer and adjust the temp. Are you using one with a thermostat? Also depends on the brand and such. Bulk white Sculpey will burn to a pink and then purple color if baked too long or too hot. I have a table of brands, temps and times somewhere, I'll look it up for you. And remember to have proper ventilation, it does fume, and it raises the risk of toxicity if it burns. And thank you!
