Super Sculpey 
- The Ultimate Sculpting Compound!
- Used by Movie Studios and
Professionals Worldwide
- A Favorite 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
 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.
