No_Name Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 I need help with sculpey. I recently bought some super-sculpey and everytime I go to bake it the head gets too small (i work on the head) to put it on some I have to shave down the head. Do I leave the head on the body and bake it or what? Quote
PSPguy Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 Dont bake it while it is on a piece. Get a plastic cup fill it with water and put it in the microwave until it gets very very hot. Then put your piece in the water take like a toothpick and occasionally tap the scupley and when it becomes hard take the piece out. That is what I do. Quote
SirNadroj Posted March 1, 2008 Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) Don't bake it on the fig. Otherwise it'll stick to the fig and then when you go to take it off, it'll break. Trust me. :-D Are you baking it at the right tempature. Maybe if it's too hot it'll shrink? Edited March 1, 2008 by SirNadroj Quote

Bobskink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Very strange, I use super sculpey aswel and it never shrinks. Are you shure the themperature is right (130 Quote
Vader Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I wouldn't even bother with sculpey, i prefer to use Green Stuff. It's easy to use and dosen't need to be baked, a few hours in room temp and it's soild but flexable too. Quote

Bobskink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 What is "Green Stuff" It's wat they use at Games Workshop. Its better if you want to have more detail, but it's toxic and very expensive compared to super sculpey. http://uk.games-workshop.com/convershunklinic/green-stuff/1/ Quote

Wouwie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 I don't use it but i think it's better to bake it of the fig. (..) but it's toxic (...) How toxic? *skull* Quote

Surely something sold to children and adults wouldn't be toxic. Quote
Bobskink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 You can buy it at hobby stores (and games workshop stores offcourse) I don't think you can buy it at toystores. I don't exactly know how toxic, but I heard from a friend of mine who uses it, that after a whille your fingertips will feel it. You need to take pauses and wash you hands... I I still recomend Super sculpey, even if you had some problems with it. I think for the same price you have ten times more. It's just very expensive. When you want to make something big it will cost really a lot. Quote
Wouwie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Do you know the avarage price of the Green Stuff? And what do you mean with ''your fingertips will feel it.''? Quote

Bobskink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Do you know the avarage price of the Green Stuff?And what do you mean with ''your fingertips will feel it.''? Difficult to explain in english. I think your fingertips will feel like you've taken a bath to long, or like the guy who crashed the huge toxic barrel in Robocop. From what I remeber, a small portion (half the size of an audio casette) of green stuff cost about 15 Quote
Wouwie Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Does it works like that, i don't know if you know it, ''knead pencil eraser''? (I hope i translated it right...) Quote
Bobskink Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 knead pencil eraser''? (I hope i translated it right...) stuur me gewoon een pm met je vragen, want ik weet niet of we hier in het Nederlands mogen verderleuteren ;-) Quote
Vader Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Well i have been using it for a long time, and i can tell you it makes your hands feel no different than when you use any modeling clay etc. The feeling is just from dealing with a sticky molding putty, as for price i just picked up 5 lots for a mere Quote
