schoolboy error?

Hi

I have possibly just made the stupidest mistake in my (short) history of sculpting:

I am making a 1/6 steampunk statue, once I had finished the body, I thought i should prime it (aerosol), which I did.

Then i finished the head, baked it, and attached the 2 with Milliput - So far so good.

now I have nearly completed the hair - in sculpey firm. Then i realized my mistake...

What method can i use to cure the hair?

I'm sure a hot air gun will cause the primer to blister/burn.

Will the oven have any effect on the primer?

Would wrapping the body area in foil help in any way?

any advice appreciated

cheers

Ryan

Thanks, it turns out, I had nothing to fear.

All re-baked without issue.
