Questions about Sculpey?
I was wanting to make some dishes (not for consuming food off of, just for decoration and putting things in like your car keys and stuff like that), little charms and other bits and bobs with Sculpey. I just have a few questions:
1.) What are the best paints to use with Sculpey?
2.)Even if there is no paint on the sculpture, should there be a clear coating of acrylic paint on it?
3.)If I want to make little charms with metals loops at the end, when do I put in the metal piece, before or after baking?
6.)If I were to make a dish and put wrapped candy in it, would that be safe since the candy has the wrapping on it (like the mini 2 musketeers and stuff like that)?
5.)I am completely new to this, I have never sculpted anything in my life but I've always wanted to get into it and heard of Sculpey so any tips would be wonderful =D
thanks so much!

1. Acrylic enamel like model planes - baked polymer clay is PVC
2. No
3. Before if "in", have to drill afterward. "on" with glue, then after
4. Do you think the stuff is instantly contaminating? Wrapped candy goes in people's pockets. A dish made of the same stuff as water pipes is rather cleaner. The concern about using them for food and drink is that they are more or less porous and so might hold food juices and not release them to soap and water, the juices rot on the shelf and contaminate the next food. If the sculptures get dirty they can be washed.
5. Enjoy

Any time you velocity up drying in any style of clay, you expand the threat and severity of cracking. often, to limit cracking, dry slowly till ultimately it relatively is bone dry. additionally, any time you integrate clay our bodies, you threat cracking pondering the undeniable fact that they dry and decrease at unique quotes. So, i could now not reccomend mixing the two or putting the air dry clay interior the oven. I particularly hate to indicate it, even nevertheless it relatively is unbelievable to start the project over. Then, follow one clay physique and take care of the stress on the form, which will reason cracking and sluggish the fee of drying till now than you bake it. sturdy success.
