craftgrrlHi guys.
I have a sculpey question that I didn't see answered in the memories. I am about to start on a project and am debating whether to hollow it out or keep it as a solid mass of sculpey. I'd like to keep it solid just because it would be easier to sculpt, but I'm wondering if there are any baking issues tend to arise when heating thick pieces. The part I am making may come to around 3" in thickness in places, and I don't want it to burn on the outside or crack or explode or do any other awful thing. Anyone have experience with this? Also, would it be a problem to have a piece that is very thick like that is some places but much thinner in others? I imagine the thinner parts would harden faster and could possibly burn or singe, but I've actually never used sculpey before (shhh...) so I don't know!
