Gluing Sculpey Together

[Giottoface]

So sometimes you just got to glue two pieces of baked sculpey together.. i find a lot of glues don't work.

Will Hot Glue from a hot glue gun work?

does that GOOP stuff work?

what is all y'alls personal preferences?

u better make sure glue can even bake!.. so do a trial run on everything u want.. make sure it dont go boom or watever.. see whichever is less messier n stuff

oh yeah definitely. but i meant gluing already baked sculpey together. or maybe a baked piece to a wood base. something like that. i just didn't want to dish out 10 bucks (i'm poor) for a hot glue gun, if i didn't know it'd glue already baked sculpey together.

hey.. can wood bake inside a kiln like most of urs.. like 3000 deg?

if you're planing on baking it again, i'd highly reccomend TLS
you can find more information on it here

if you're done baking (or bake at lower temperatures, 2 part epoxy seems to do the trick.. so does milliput or crazy/superglue (Cyanoacrylates)

When I am absolutely sure a sculpey piece will not be baked again (i.e. when a finished piece breaks), my best bet has been to use a dab of super glue gel; sets pretty quickly and holds well, and is usually invisible.

I have no personal experience with goop, but if it's anyting like E-6000 it's uver messy and not always stable.

Hope this helps.

for broken sculpey use cynoacrylate or super glue. I like "zap-a-gap" available at you friendly neighborhood hardware store. 5min epoxy is pretty good to. And yes , you can rebake sculpey. cracking is always a risk, but i find that if i add fresh sculpey to baked and bake it again at a low temp...say 200, it seems fine. hope this helps.
