Hi Gordy, I use epoxy puty as a base manekin and grey sculpey for the some of the soft tisue detail as on the face.

 

[gordy]

Thanks for the info Juan, how does the epoxy putty react to the hotter baking of the sculpey ?

Thanks, Gordy, I'm curious, too, since I've got both kinds of putty in my toolbox.

Prost!

Actually reacts very well, it did not present any issue on that respect, I bake the sculpey on a vapor pot ( like the one used to bake vegetables) so the heat is not on direct flame based as on an oven, I also have baked the polimer clay wit a hair drayer ( the one use by the girls to dray their hair after they wash it) wit good results for bouth clay the epoxi and the polimer clay.

The only problem that I have with the figure are the forearms, way to long! as well as the fingers?
Nice work.

Thank you chris

Interesting, I'm not sure what vapor pot is.. is that like a crock pot ?

I have mixed sculpy recently with epoxy (aves) and it has good results, longer working time and colors the white epoxy so it's not so blinding and it cures well in a toaster oven

wow that sounds interesting i may tray that later, well a vapor pot is a pot wit 2 chambers on it on the lowest one you put water and then a ladle wit holes on it covering the water this let you a second chamber over this ladle and finally a cover on top of the pot, you put the pot on a stove and the water becomes steam and float from the first chamber to the second cooking the food wit steam, is used a lot on mexico to cook tamales , also the chinese people cook wit steam a lot of dishes so is not taht uncomon on the kitchen, I have not tray the toaster oven on here those are very expensibe son I stay wit this steam pot al least for now

 

[gordy]

Okay, Juan I know what you mean now, it's a what we call a double boiler, good for cooking tamales.... mmmm tamales!!

 

[ookami]

Me too, Gordy. I like it. I got the original suggestion (or at least the info that it could be done) from Einion, who mentioned it a while ago in one of his posts. I do like the consistancy, color and working time you get...and after I sculpt with it, I put it in at only 180 degrees, and get a rock hard result.
I had no idea that these materials could be mixed together, and as I go on, I'm finding that many materials that seem totally unrelated to each other can be used in mixtures, combos etc.
A vapor pot to me is a thing that you used to unstuff a childs nose that shoots steam into the room.
Obviously this is something different.

Crock pot, learned that 25 years ago from Bob Bethea, and Mike good, for both drying putty and oil paints.
Keep up the great work.

yep that tecnique sounds very interesting i wil tray it later, the part that i really dont like about polimer clay is that sculpey alone is a little to fragile compared to epoxy if bout can be mix then it seems that you can get the best of bouth materials, thak you gordy for sharing and to twomons to confirm it .
