Warped Figure! is there any saving it?

Custom WorkstationI was hardening the Sculpey on the back of one of my figures and it warped it....Everything just kind of shifted to the right of it....Is there anyway to save it? I need the front and the back to match up so that arms and head fit on properly with out it looking too stupid...Please tell me there is a way to save it...I really don't want to shell out 8 bucks to buy a new one off ebay.

Please wait...

The gloves also take away fingerprints from your sculpt
I use water - keeping aliitle eggcup sized glass beside me whil I work with it to keep lines smooth if they have to be smooth
I find letting it cure awhile makes it more plastic and stretchy and you can use this to youres advantafe when making a shirt as you strectch it and double over on itself in ares where there has to be folds or alternastively use an exacto, end of a brush and toothpick to make shirt details

Any suggestions on how to work with Apoxie Sculpt?

But within two hours the Cerebus hellhound I did in the custom showcase was done using this method

Now....I'm going to advance a Duchovnian riff
But the Truth is out there
You can technically mix two parts any color of sculpey to 4 parts apoxie sculpt
this not only lts you work in colors like sculpey and lessens the need to paint stuff but you have colored air drying apoxie putty
I've tried it and it works - its not going to be a strong as pure apozie scupt - but it will be tougher than normal hairdryer/boiling water hardened sculpy
Apoxie sculpt is the way to go

The solvent is just to help smooth the apoxie, but you can do that by licking your finger or using some water and smoothing it out like Sculpey, lol.
If you buy it from Aves or the other website does it come with that solvent stuff? And what is the solvent for anyway?
and where in the sam hell can I get that Dull Cote stuff or a matte sealer? I have been to every store and can't seem to find it.
Thats just the shirt after I sanded it down and everything, just the front part anyway. Since the back was ruined I didn't bother taking pictures of it...Actually I think I already found a replacement. Im glad im such a wrestling junkie/pack rat now. All kinds of spare parts just floating around.
