Ok, I have a silly question.
I bought some colored sculpey at Wal-Mart yesterday, just to experiment with. After I put the sculpey on a figure and get it the way I want, I then put the figure in the oven, right? How does this not melt the figure? What temperature and for how long?

If you're putting it on a figure, best thing is to boil it.
I bring the water to a boil, take it off the heat and put the figure in for a couple of minutes.

Oh, ok. No oven then. Makes sense.

Also, dedicate a pot to the use of boiling only, you should never mix your eating items with polymer clay.

Becky, a lot of customizers boil their sculpey on figures, but recently a few have told me that they put the figure in an oven or toaster oven at 225 degrees for just 3 minutes or so. I tried this last night and it worked!
With the harder sculpey I had problems with the sculpey coming apart in the boiling water.

I'll try the oven soon. I recently made a custom with a dress (I will upsdate soon) and some of it cracked off
