Cures in oven, then can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted. Review: Harder clay to create finer detail but still a little softness - 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. Review: Perfect for variety of projects - 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. ## Features - Causes serious eye irritation. - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. - May cause long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life. - Warning:To be used under the direct supervision of an adult - For many sculptors who want a clay they can carve, tool and detail with none of the blurring and bending found in softer polymer clays - Extra firm sculpting clay in grey colour, easy for sculptors and photographers to see the tiniest detail - Studio Grey - Super Sculpey is a very unique polymer clay, loved by artists, dollmakers and animation studios around the world. - After curing in the oven, Super Sculpey can be sanded, drilled carved and painted with water-based acrylic paints. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001C4RTP2 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Age range (description) | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | 437,642 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 242 in Modeling Compounds | | Brand | Super Sculpey | | Brand Name | Super Sculpey | | Colour | Grey | | Country Of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,264 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Hand-Eye Coordination | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00715891114513 | | Included Components | 1 | | Item Dimensions | 14.9 x 7.6 x 3.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | Super Sculpey ISCSS1SCULPT Firm Oven Bake Clay, 1 lb/454 g - Firm Grey | | Item Weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.45 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Polyform | | Manufacturer Part Number | SS1SCULPT | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | SS1SCULP | | Model Number | SS1SCULPT | | Number of Items | 3 | | Number of items | 3 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Flexible | | Recommended Uses For Product | Modeling | | UPC | 553002682700 046909693165 799457394595 712353341845 715891114513 046978197939 791836790660 046979593471 787162964301 | | Unit Count | 454.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Super Sculpey - **Colour:** Grey - **Age range (description):** Adult - **Material:** Plastic - **Item weight:** 0.45 Kilograms - **Number of items:** 3 - **Recommended uses for product:** Modeling - **Special feature:** Flexible - **Included components:** 1 - **Educational objective:** Hand-Eye Coordination ## Images ![Polyform Super Sculpey ISCSS1SCULPT Firm Oven Bake Clay, Firm Grey, 1 lb/454 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51NJPWdpmFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Hi does it shrink when baked? Thank you.** A: It shrinks roughly 2%. With small models you barely notice it. **Q: How firm is this supposed to be? I was under the impression that it was very firm, but my order seemed rather soft. I love everything else about it** A: I found it to be totally the opposite, so hard that nothing softened it! A total nightmare to work with, I ended up throwing it all away!! **Q: Do you need to bake it? I only want to patch up action figures with it will it cure on its own ?** A: You do have to bake it. Try miliput. **Q: The clay is so hard. Any ideas how to soften it to work with or at least stop it drying out?** A: If its new it should warm up fast enough in your hands after working it for a short time. If it is too hard I use a small bit of mineral oil to soften it. The only way to stop it drying out Is keep it in an air tight container or bag. Mine has become brittle and hard in the air, and it isn't worth the time to work it back to be usable, so keep it airtight always. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Harder clay to create finer detail but still a little softness *by N***N on 13 October 2015* 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.

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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Firm means firm, just as advertised. *by C***A on 20 December 2020* I admit I am very new to using polymer clay I ordered 'firm', I practiced with the clay to get a good feel of the flexibility. I have mixed firm with my original white sculpey to give myself a more medium consistency- has worked wonders and is not so tough to push ad pull about! Though I can see how firm really holds its shape well. I would recommend this clay if you have a harder touch and are use to working with denser materials, or to mix with another polymer clay to create a more suitable clay for what you're working on. For the future I am happy I'm now more informed on the sculpey brand, and am aware of hardness variants My Sculpey box did come to me unsealed, the box was flapped open but the outer postal box had protected everything, so no harm done to the quality of the clay. I know that this clay will be addictive as they are lovely to work with. Overall brill quality and fast delivery, cheers! ## Frequently Bought Together - Sculpey SS1SCULPTSuper Firm Clay 1lb, Gray - Super Sculpey Medium Gray, Premium, Non Toxic, Medium firmness, Sculpting Modeling Polymer clay, Oven Bake Clay, 1 pound bar.
