Polyform Super Sculpey ISCSS1SCULPT Firm Oven Bake Clay, Firm Grey, 1 lb/454 g

Easy to work with although it can take a while to warm it up in your hands to make it soft. Holds detail well and has easy to follow instructions on the packaging to bake it.Ive been using it for a while and have made a few statues using it including my latest one of Robocop.I find the hardest part is trying to think of something to make but once you do you can take as long as you want to make it as you can keep working on it and making changes until you bake it.Its nice and firm too so you wont lose the details you've already done just by holding it to do the other side like you can with the softer clay but if its for young kids they may have trouble softening it up first.I would definitely recommend this.

First time using polymer clay, takes a bit of manipulation but is soon very malleable and easily smoothed. Great for detailing and fine fur texture. I used on both a realistic dog model for a friend and small stylized christmas ornaments. Worked out great! Once fired in the oven easily painted. Fine areas can be brittle once fired also.Bear in mind if the clay is not sealed for several months it will dry out and you will have to use mineral oil/ baby oil to rework it.

One of the best clay i have used! Amazing item and i was able to sculpt a little head with it. Its really firm and i would reccomend to use for sculptures!Its very firm when you first use so i would reccomend to roll out with a pin or you hands or use SuperSculpey clay softner.

When i got the Sculpey it was very, very dried out. Rock hard. Almost as hard as a brick. I had to soften it down and the process is not anywhere near easy on the hands and it is quite time consuming, due to the fact that i don't own a pasta machine. But after softening it with some oil i can say i'm pretty pleased with it. Holds details exceptionally and rakes do wonders with it. But it is also sort of crumbly when smoothing it down with my fingers. I recommend a 50/50 mix with Super Sculpey Living Doll. This way it's softer but still hard enough to get good detail. But even as is i can say it's a very good sculpting material. As long as it's not dried out to begin with.

This 'Firm Grey' Super Sculpey clay purchase is the result of the 'Beige' clay being a little to soft for my liking - although a nice clay also.I am trying to clay very fine detail in small figurines and with little experience or know how I really can appreciate what a fantastic clay this is. The extra firmness does make it much easier to work with to create detail and cut away what you don't need.I've used clay that you have to keep wet in the past but I found out late about Super Sculpey and gave it ago. The freedom to just have this clay out in the open and play around with it as you please is a very bizarre experience - it doesn't come sealed in the box so that's all you need to know how nice and firm it stays. There is no mess and it doesn't get clogged up on your fingers.Oven baking various pieces I've been working on has been a breeze, on a very low heat (exactly as it says on the packaging) for 14 minutes I think and that's it. I've been laying my clay bits on tin foil directly in the oven and that produces results perfect every time. It's just a little smelly (hardly smell anything) with a fine odour when in the oven but should be no problem with anyone in your household.

What can you say? It's Sculpey and it's one of those 'does-what-it-says-on-the-tin' items. If you're not familiar with sculpey, it comes in different forms - soft or hard and the hard is much harder than Fimo but in other respects similar to use: it doesn't have the same colour range, it tends to come in pink or grey but colours are available too. The Sculpey organisation treats things in a different way because it's meant to be a sculpture student product though it's quite capable of providing a good medium for serious sculpture... so their support info isn't aimed at a toy and trinket-making audience, but rather more towards artists, both professional and amateur. It's good stuff. The hard version takes a bit more kneading and then it's perfectly workable. It cooks in an oven the way FIMO does.

This stuff is professional grade. You can't get better than Super Sculpey. It's good for painting on, and you can mix it with other colours but really I don't see the point. It's a good buy if you're a newbie too as it's a big solid chunk that will let you play around lots and get the feel for it. It also holds detail far better than the 'soft' FIMO stuff, for example.

Have been ordering from here for years. Only had a problem twice both times being that though packaged as Super Sculpey Firm it’s FAR too soft to be. It’s Medium.
