Thank you for stopping by. I sculpt my clay directly onto my figure pieces and bake. I recommend taking a look at this post:

The above is a fairly detailed tutorial/step-by-step on my process including baking temperatures to prevent too much warping.

A couple tips to note is that I bought a used Nuwave oven (small portable infrared oven). This is perfect for baking figures and no harmful fumes escape into the oven where I bake food or into my house. Also let the pieces cool & harden because they will be fragile and very rubbery when warm.

If you post your figures somewhere, let me know.

giving to me by a friend; your stuff is awesome by the way. I see that
you use polymer clay with a lot of designs and I was wondering if you
could give me some advice on using the clay to modify my color blank.

Is it safe to bake the clay on the Blank in the oven or do I need to mold
the clay then bake it separately and try to reattach it to the Blank?

Thank you for your time.
