History - In
response to the popularity of Sculpey, Super Sculpey was formulated.
Users required a clay of greater tensile strength and Super Sculpey
was the answer. |

Characteristics -
In color, Super Sculpey
is a translucent pink-beige only. Like Sculpey, Super Sculpey
is an easy to condition polymer requiring minimal hand kneading
or rolling through a pasta machine to prepare for use. It features
fine tooling and detailing characteristics, and does not "fill
in" after tooling. If you opt to paint your cured piece,
we recommend acrylic paint or the application of water based
glaze prior to painting with oils. Paint should be applied in
thin washes rather than thick coats for the best paint to clay
bond. After curing, Super Sculpey bakes to a ceramic-like hardness
and can be sanded to a fine smoothness. |
|
Curing - Super
Sculpey should be cured in a preheated 275 degree F (135 degree C)
oven for 15 minutes per quarter inch of thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE. For example, a piece of ½" thickness would be cured for 30 minutes.
The layering method is recommended for lager pieces of construction.
(See Technical Section.) |
| Use - The
translucent pink-beige color has made Super Sculpey the favored
polymer of many art dollmakers. Because of the fine tooling and
detailing characteristics of Super Sculpey, it is frequently the
chosen clay for making prototypes from which molds are made from
the Super Sculpey sculptures; then reproductions are made using
the molds. Additionally, artists are producing finely detailed
finished sculptures using Super Sculpey. |

Storage - Sculpey
polymer clay products should remain fresh if properly stored in a
cool place, away from heat and direct sunlight. |
