If I'm adding Sculpey to a plastic action figure, is there any other way to cure it without baking it in oven? Can I use a heat gun?

You can add an amount of sculpy on your plastic action figure and bake it at a low temperature I would say about 250 F for about 35 minutes depending the amount of sculpy your adding.

Im an esthetician & I blended it with water using a wooden spoon if you dont have one then use a rubber spatula . You ll get better results than a plastic one. Y ou can apply with fingertips to your face.

Not exactly. It depends on the thickness of the clay. The item can be 1" long or 1' long and still require the same baking time if the clay is the same thickness. Refer to the package instructions for how many minutes per thickness and at what temp is required for it to cure without burning.

I have never tried, only used this with melted chocolate...it is a medium sturdy plastic so I think you maybe able to do it but keep in mind your ice cube will be a half mold of the figure. sorry not a huge help.

I've successfully molded Monster Clay with Smooth On platinum silicones (specifically Mold Star 16 Fast). Because it's not a sulfur based clay you should be fine to mold it with pretty much any kind of silicone, though. Hope that helps!

I really doubt it. The mold is silicone and probably won't take temps that high. I really don't know for sure though. I do know when the pour-able plastic "goes off" its gets uncomfortably hot, but not into those ranges. Sorry, I hope this helps.

Don't try. Ive used both and Both form with heat so even if they don't fuse there will be serious deformation bordering on pointless. Instant mold is great for epoxy putty(I use it for gunpla parts, duping custom Lego elements, replicating broken items(etc.)) and the occasional resin cast if its simple and low detail. Sorry for going off topic. I wouldn't recommend it.

Use whipping fluid or super glue. Do not attempt to melt it. Kevlar does not melt. It is heat resistant to about 800 degrees Fahrenheit, at which point it chars.

I used plasticine to sculpt a mask, then used the silicone to make a mold from it. It works fine, the smooth-on is a liquid so you pour it over the clay and let it dry. I had no problems with the 4 masks I did with it.

Hi Arlene, I have never done that before and would be afraid to. I always deforst all products before exposing it to extremely high temperatures. P

To a degree (no pun intended). I tried a regular hair dryer, with no luck at all. Then I tried a Wagner 0503008 HT 1000 1,200-watt Heat Gun (available on Amazon) and it really heated the plastic up. My project is not a complete seal, it only covers an object's top and leaves the bottom open. The Wagner will actually melt the plastic, so you have to be careful not to overdo. This stretch wrap works best when it clings to itself. If you cover an object completely so the wrap overlaps, it won't need to be heated, but you could heat it to provide a little extra tightness.

Oops, I am sorry the picture did not load and I thought you were asking about a different product. I used polymer clay in the mold and think the mold was rather too soft for harder clays. The clay would have to be very soft or you would have to use the mold for something like chocolate before it held its shape. I have not spent much time yet with this mold so I might not be the person to ask.

I don't know about Sculpey. I've used it with fondant and gumpaste and it works great. I have to sprinkle some corn starch on the old first or the decoration won't come out clean. If you try a corn starch sprinkle it might work.

I bought the paint to use on a plastic model car. I haven't tried it on ceramics. But here is the Testors website.http://www.testors.com/pages/help-and-support/faqs/general-questions/General Questions:4. Can you bake the enamel or acrylic paint?"We do not recommend that the enamel paints be placed in any oven or kiln at any temperatures, due to performance and safety issues. Enamels are considered Flammable/Volatile materials and do have a flash point.

Yes - you can make nice casts of items with good detail and then use another medium to build - I used green stuff myself. On point to mention - I tried this with resin plastics and the heat created by the plastic destroyed the mold - I did get a decent copy. I just melted the instant mold and used it again with no real harm. Very nice to those one off molds you may need.

You have to work the plastic by hand when you get the mas and how high you need it you can used a heat gun to help you shape it , I hope this help's Steve R
