Blog Entries: 5   |  Drying Sculpy OK, my problem is this. For the ammount of conversion i have to do for my Nurgle army, GS is just not cost effective. Does anyone know how to harden Sculpy or Fimo out of an oven? Does a hair dryer work? other suggestions appreciated.

Blog Entries: 4 | You need to use an oven-and watch the temperature-too hot and the sculpy/fimo will burn and run ruining your work (and it stinks) so dont use a hair dryer as this will cause local hot spots and may result in blisters. If the model is large and contains lots of thick areas use a slightly lower heat and cook for longer! |

Blog Entries: 5 | well, the thing is that i am sculpting a GUO, but also i am adding details to tanks and such GS is apparently hard to come by here in montana, and the few online stores i have found don't go into much detail on what you get for the price...... not sure i want to put a land raider in the oven and was hoping there was a way to harden sculpy w/o puting it in the oven.

 | the standard cooking for a large Sculpy project is 20mins at 200C. why not try getting your hands on some milliput instead, its much cheaper than green stuff and does exactly the same job - comes in 3 or 5 different types depending on the exact use.
