Coating PVC Figure with Super Sculpey?

Coating PVC Figure with Super Sculpey?

Custom WorkstationHello fellows Merry Christmas to all!! Hope you all had a wonderful feast with your family members like I did!
I'm new in the hobby (always wanted to customize a figure since I was a kid, wanted to give it a try today) so please forgive me for any (or all) of my silly questions. I'm hoping to customize a PVC figure by first coating him with a thick layer of Super Sculpey, then resculpting his muscles and head. Is this feasible? I am planning to use the flesh/skin toned Super Sculpey for this my first project. Please let me know if it's a go, because if so I'll start right away. I've watched a few Youtube vids on how to handle the clay and did some reading off the web on sculpting these past few weeks. I don't think or even expect this will be a masterpiece since it'll be my first, but I do want to make it good, so please give me any comments/suggestions. Thanks fellows nice meeting you all and have a wonderful holiday!
p.s. Is it possible that I left the Super Sculpey to harden up by itself? Because I read that these should be baked after sculpting but after the process the oven will be unsuitable for baking food. Anyone? Thanks!

Please wait...

if you want a sculpting material that hardens by itself, you can try some two part epoxy. just mix it and sculpt before it hardens and there you go! it also blends well with plastics or even PVC figs with some minor sanding after it hardens.. you can just repaint it afterwards.
