Can you bake Super Sculpey with wood pieces in the sculpture? will the wood prevent hardening when baking?
I need to use wooden dowels to suport a very specific shape that I am trying to acheive with super sculpey. I’m worried that the sculpey will need longer to bake because the wood will sap the heat. how long should I bake it without overbaking it?
I work with polymer clay like Sculpey. You need to coat the wood with either white glue (let it dry) or Liquid polymer clay to increase adhesion. If it is completely coated with clay, then I don’t think this would be a problem.
The baking times are the same: generally 275 degrees F. for 30 minutes for every 1/4 inch of clay thickness.
Hope this helps. I have added a link to a marvelous site with many ideas.
