Hi Calvin!
Happy Easter to you, too! And excellent work, as always!
I'd like to know how long you bake your Super Sculpey Firm or Kato Clay. and to what temperature you set your heatgun.
Greetings and happy Easter holidays!

Hi Richard,

Q: When you use your hetgun for baking the kato clay does it not melt the resin armature beneath?
A: No. The epoxy putty armature has a high heat resistance so melting is not a problem.

Q: Is the heatgun what one ould use for household paint stripping?
A: Yes

Is there an alternative Kurt Meyer head, too?
A: Yes

Q: How long do you bake your Super Sculpey Firm or Kato Clay. and to what temperature you set your heatgun.

A: No to sure how to answer that question as the room temperature might be different from where you are located. My best answer is to take a small piece of clay and conduct your own test or simpily read the instructions on the box lable.
