Heck yeah it's safe, I've used it for almost two years in my Betta tank. I like to sculpt logs and poke holes in them and tie fishing line to hang them from the top. I've made so much decor I've had to give them away to people lol I used the Original Sculpy, it's white but when it gets like stains from the light and all, it really gives it a natural feel. As for the film on the decor, I notice my nerite snails take care of it.
I also sculpt with polymer clay too lol it's much easier to mold and fire than earth clay. I've never tried the colored clay in tanks before. I usually overbake mine a bit, so it gets brown edges, makes it look cool. If you're making something hollow or erect, use tin foil, it holds the shape of the clay. Then just sand it down if you have any sharp edges. Super easy. And one last thing, if you do get Sculpy, get the bulk one (1.75lbs). I think you save more than buying the individual packs (unless you're trying the colored clay).
Just an example or two from my old tank.
Thank you! The logs have been a fun place for him to play hide and seek or sleep, I figured making these would make me feel more confident about the sharp edges and stuff from the floating logs they sell, plus I get to customize them!
Hiya! I'm used to Premo but same brand so I'll assume they're similar. When you first take it out of the oven, depending on how thin your piece is it will probably be flexible still. As it cools down, it should start to feel less bendy and more like solid plastic if it's cooked all the way through. If it's not cooked through, I think it's more likely to break than bend but I'm not 100% on that. I always go longer than the directions on the package, just to be on the safe side.
Thank you. I’ve been adding and rebaking for a couple hours it does seem like it’s a little bendy until it cools

If you already knew some of this ignore it lol you say you sculpt so I don't want to sound like I'm babying you or anything.

Nah they're silk, I tend to leave them alone. One thing I did do to those though is I hot glued the edges of them so they'll never fray. But for more info on polymer clay, I made a thread about it.
