Be careful when buying this clay as old stock can become dry/brittle and must be re-conditioned, which is a labour intensive process of you don't have a pasta roller.
Great clay to use. Hard enough not to deform with handling and holds detail well. Plus you only need a domestic oven to bake it. Recommended.Read full review

You know this is a great product
What to say? SuperSculpey Grey is widely used by modelers and I have started using it as well. Sure it is hard to soften it, specially for people like me who doesn't own a pasta machine, but it is that same hardness which makes it perfect for keeping the shape of your model. You can mix it with the softer SuperSculpey (which was the first one I used). That one is extremely soft and you can create a lot of details but you need to be careful or you can deform it easily, but this firm version doesn't deform easily. So, if you need to work with sturdier polymerclay, like for making sharp corners, super smooth surfaces, anime hair, mecha and props, this one is perfect. If you are aiming for an organic, less precise piece, then you better choose Soft SuperSculpey. I love this clay, it doesn't smell bad either.Read full review

Really good modeling clay
This clay was recommended by my teacher for a first sculpt. Really like this stuff already and was able to create a rather nice head sculpt using it. This clay is very firm so it holds detail very well, on the negative side of that it can be cruel on your hands.Read full review

Super sculpey polymer clay, cure at home.
Like all polymer clays, super sculpey can be cured in a conventional home oven. It never dries out and is reworkable until cured. Which is great for projects that take a long time, as oposed to air drying clay, which has a limited working time.
I used to use super sculpey, the normal pink / beige one, but found it to be a little translucent. Which made fine detailing very difficult.
The firm grey however is opaque, and the firmness much better for carving and shaping fine details.
The main issue I've had with this product is varying consistencys in the firmness of the clay. It should be quite 'stiff' to work with, most of the blocks I've had have been ok, but I've had some that have been very soft and sticky. Thus very difficult to work with. I've even found the consistency vary within an individual block.
I've since discovered that the soft clay can be firmed up by placing thin sheets between layers of paper to leach out some of the oils. Which is a bit of a pain, and waste of paper, especially when part way through a sculpt.
Super sculpey is one of those materials that I'm still learning about, and learning how to get the best from it.
A couple of tips ive learned, that aren't on the packaging... Your can add new sculpey to baked sculpey. A very thin smear of Vaseline helps the clay to stick, and acts as a 'glue'.
99% rubbing alcohol can be used to smooth the clay during the sculpt. It slightly dissolves the surface of the clay, and if worked with a soft brush can remove imperfections like fingerprints and tool marks.
If you find the firm clay a little too difficult to work with, it can be mixed 50/50 with the normal super sculpey, for a medium blend. Sculpey do actually have a medium blend available, but i am yet to find a uk stockist.
Overall its a great clay to work with, and there's some fantastic work being created with it, just look on Google.Read full review
