Unique in both form & colour, this new sculpting clay brings creative options to the sculpting world.

Super Sculpey is the ultimate sculpting compound. It is used by movie studios and professionals worldwide and a favourite with doll makers.

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

Super Sculpey is a translucent pink-beige colour. It 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 (130 degree C) oven for 15 minutes per quarter inch thickness. DO NOT MICROWAVE. For example a piece of 1/2″ thickness would be cured for 30 minutes. The layering method is recommended for larger pieces of construction.

 Use

The translucent pink-beige colour has made Super Sculpey the favoured polymer of many art doll makers. Because of the fine tooling and detailing characteristics of Super Sculpey. It is frequently the chosen clay for making prototypes from which moulds are made for sculptures. 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 & direct sunlight.
