I actually bake (cure) small polymer pieces on my candle warmer. I brought several of these with me to New Mexico for the classes I was going to teach. I throw small beads and disks on there and can leave them for an hour (or more), turning them midway and they have held up; without any problems with cracking.
If I have any doubts if the beads had enough baking time, I will throw them in the oven when I get home. I like the candle warmers as opposed to the cup warmers because they are larger.
I bought the above "Friendly Clay" warmer in the late 90's and use it for pre-warming my clay.
It came with a microwavable insert that eventually wore out. I purchased the below microwavable inserts through the Do Not Disturb company and have used them ever since.

You make it happen - wow - one day I have to visit and you can show me. Like I need one more creative addiction!
I had no idea you could cure clay on a candle warmer! So much to learn, so little time (grin)!
That is a cool idea about the candle warmer. I have one, so I will definitely try it next time. Thanks for the tips, Marlene and for commenting on my newest creations from the past workshop.
