I use a hair dryer to cure my sculpey but I read somewhere that you could also boil it? Anyone care to test it out, I'm all out of sculpey :[

Boiling Sculpty works just fine. It's been a tried and true method for many years of custom figure making. The way I do it is to microwave a bowl of water, drop in the sculptied part, wait for a good 15 minutes or so, and that's it. Should be done. Let it dry out, or even zap it with the hair dryer before you start sanding or whatever.
