I'm trying to use Craft Porcelain from Michaels to add in the suit details for an Ultimate Giant Man(Icons DareDevil) but I can't seem to get it to stick to the figure. At all.
Any ideas as to solving this dilemma? As of right now I just have a hornless, primer gray DareDevil staring at me on my desk.
Also, this is only my second attempt at sculpting. The first go was turning X3 Jean into the black leather look. I used Sculpey there and cured it carefully with a heat gun. I was hoping to move away from that and into an air drying sculpt though, mainly for the ease of molding/tooling as opposed to the firmer sculpey.
Craft Porcelain is workable, I've used it a lot actually. it's a pain in the ass because it condenses as it cures... potentially messing up any add-on pieces you've made for later. I've had no problems with super-glue holding it on tho, as long as you've given it adequate time to cure that is.
yeah, I used Craft Porcelain several times during my first times of customizing, and boy, did it crack, fall off, all of that. I tried to use super glue before it cured on the figure and it still didn't stick, it just got more messy. I don't use it anymore, but I don't have any Sculpty either, so I just "sculpt" with foam, and I think I like it better than Porcelain.
the Porcelain won't take/stick to the plastic of a figure bud. if you want to use it though, you might try an etching primer to bite the plastic and the Porcelain. a friend of mine is casting bodies and molds. he's Dr.Deadman here on the forums. give him a holler, he might have a better answer for you.BD
Please wait...
