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 (130 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.
Packaging
Super Sculpey is sold in bulk packages
of 1, 8, or 24 pounds.
