Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to sculpting and have never baked super sculpey before. The last statue I tried making was about 13" tall and made with 16 gauge aluminum wire, wrapped with 18 gauge around it. However, I found it way too flimsy and couldn't support my sculpture. I'm wondering if 10 gauge would be strong enough? I was also looking at galvanized steel as a solution since its stronger, but I don't know if it's safe to put that in my oven that I use for cooking (cause of the zinc plating). I'm not entirely sure about what type of materials are best suited for strength and safety.
I also wanted to ask if it's safe to use super sculpey in the same oven I cook in? I've heard many different things about toxicity and whatnot. I'm just so very confused lol. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I actually found an answer to one of my questions with some digging. On the polyform website:
http://www.sculpey.com/?s=super+scul...e=faq_question it says that sculpey is completely safe to use in your home oven and is non-toxic. Just for those curious to know as well! Still not sure about the galvonized steel though.
