Sculpting With Super Sculpey - Getting Started
Some things you will need are: Super Sculpey (of course), Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil, Vaseline, 11 gauge and 16 gauge armature wire, Wire Cutters, Plyers, Super Glue, Fast Setting Plumbers Puddy (I use Locktite), a small Wood and Wire Loop Tool (I order mine from Reuels on line), a Pasta Machine (not shown) I get mine at Michales, another invaluable tool is an Xacto Knife (also not shown). a Super Extruder (I get mine on line at Clay Alley), a Wooden Base, Wood Screws 1/4 - 1/2 inch head and about 1/2 inch long ( I use metal screws they usually have a pointed end and a Phillips Head, but you can get wood screws with pointed ends and a Flat Head, you will need a Drill with a Driver that has a Flat Head and a Phillips Head. Ahh, you want something to roll out your sculpey. I use a 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch PVC Tube (I get mine at a hardward store and have them cut a piece for me (if you think you're going to use wood - don't the sculpey sticks to it. But you can get an acrylic roller from the art store (very expensive) - but, Hey, it works!
