hey all, so want to sculpt in lost detail (due to supports) using super sculpey. Though to get the sculpey hard it needs to be baked at a temperature of 130ºC (275°F). Just wondering if you think the resin will hold up in those temperatures or melt? I was thinking more of heating it up using a heatgun (not hairdryer) I guess I can experiment on an old print though would be good to hear what others think first.
so just did a quick test and the heat gun cracked and flaked the test print in around 10 seconds on high setting. Maybe boiling water is a better option?
Heat guns seem to typically run at 700+F. May not be good for something you want at 275. Boiling water, unless it’s in a pressure vessel won’t get past 100C.
What about just using a toaster oven at a low setting? If offgassing is a worry, toaster ovens can be had pretty cheaply, get a new one for the kitchen and dedicate the old one to dirty jobs.
Boiling Water will do the trick for super sculpey, just let it in there for a while, i image the print should be fine too. There could be some warping, but i don’t think it will break!
