Help with Sculpey

[theforeman]

I was planning on using Sculpey on my custom mugg. Am i supposed to bake it then glue it on, or bake them together, or boil the clay, I'm not really sure. Some expert advice would be great.

i think that the super sculpey requires baking....magic sculp requires no baking. Tamiya's epoxy putty do not require baking at all either...these ones with no baking come in separate parts that you mix together(equal parts) that are soft when shaping but dry overnight into a hard piece....hope this helps

I'm gonna try doing sculpey. I'ma bake it first then glue it on. Hopefully after the paint, the seam shouldn't be so noticeable.

SCULPEY warning: I had my custom drying from its paint job, and i wanted to do a head piece but I was impatient and thought it would be a good idea to use my Obi as a model for head piece making....BAD idea. Obi ended up with Sculpey residue and I had to scrub him for like 10 minutes to get the crap off of him. I dunno if anyone would be silly enough to the same thing, but I thought I'd warn first.

You can actually boil Super Sculpey, and it hardens just like baking. I normally let it go for three to five minutes, depending on the thickness of the part. I prefer it to baking, especially if I've sculpted something direct to the figure.

I just bought something called Sculpey "Ultra Light" so when you bake it wont be so heavy. Lets hope it works well.

This crap is sooooooooo hard to sculpt.
