Hi, I'm thinking trying out the super sculpey clay, but I don't know what type of hardness or what tools I need?
Reply

Hello! Super sculpey clay itself comes just as is with the hardness. It's relatively soft, which can be good, but like in this tutorial I mix it with the other two types just to get it a little more firm so it is easier to work with. It's optional really.

These are the tools I work with [link] and [link]

The tool I use the most is rubber tipped like this one [link]

cool! im trying my hand at simple chibis right now but im getting agravated im using regular grey clay and it makes a mess everywhere and i also cant get it to stay together even with supports. with scuply just plain sculpy is it the same as working with clay just not the mess and the falling apart if you bake it? sorry for the onlot of questions just trying to get my head around this whole thing! haha

Sorry I'm late with a reply

When you say grey clay, are you talking like mud clay? If so that stuff is hard to work with and it dries out and I never had much success with it.

If it's grey polymer clay, it shouldn't be so much a problem. It's much like the super sculpey [aka SS, pink stuff]. But still a little tougher because it's not a pliable. You really have to work it to get it soft and it's the main reason I mix it in with my SS.

If things are supporting properly you might have to slow your process down a little and build it up in steps. Like you get to a point, bake it so it has a harder foundation then continue building off of that. Then any supports won't have as much work to do.

Hope that answered some questions, if any. ^_^
