Help with a super sculpey project?
Hi a friend suggested I post here for some help, all the pages I find on google are for american jewellery makers. But I'm a total sculpting newbie living in the UK so a lot of the supplies they use I cant get.
But I wanted to know, if parts of my sculpt (I'm making a dragon) are under 6mm thick how long and hot should I make the oven? its a gasmark oven. The sculpey is put over a tinfoil, wire, masking tape armature.
Are citadel acrylic paints usually used on my boyfriends war hammer OK to use to paint sculpey once its baked, or do I need a varnish sealer or a different sort of acrylic, I know some acrylics just chip or peel right off??
What sort of sealer/varnish should I use that i can get in the UK (if I need it at all) because a lot of the jewellery sites say dont use at all because it goes sticky and ruins the sculpey.
And any other tips any of you might have that would be useful, are greatly appreciated!
