Would this be 2 hours at 170 Farenehit or Celcius? Sounds like a stupid question I know, but after following the instructions for genesis paints exactly and ruining a sculpt I was quite proud of, I am so worried about trying this technique with other paints too, and that sounds like a very long time in the oven...? <br /><br />Thanks if you have time to reply...<br /><br />~AlexENVYDOLLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09765810182148862379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207002758082734725.post-48201096780826946482011-01-18T21:20:11.930-05:002011-01-18T21:20:11.930-05:00Thanks Mark, I'll give that a try - previous a...Thanks Mark, I'll give that a try - previous attempts at completely setting a full paint with just the heat gun have failed. I'm sure it's a matter of practice with the gun (tricky to set the Genesis, but not scorch the figure). Part of my problem with using the gun is (I'm sure) due to the fact that my figures are small, and thus more prone to scorching fingers and noses.Sculptor?!?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01217588649164930645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207002758082734725.post-9633251852576915732011-01-18T16:20:31.835-05:002011-01-18T16:20:31.835-05:00Bev, The water mixable oils will dry and set by th...Bev, The water mixable oils will dry and set by themselves with out the oven but will take days. You can use the heat gun to dry/set them. It takes a few minutes but then should wait a few days to be sure before moving on.<br />Heat set oils are designed to set at a low temperate so again, the heat gun will set them. If you are concerned, set with the gun then lay on fiberfill (not a washcloth as it will rub off paint)and place in the oven. You will not hurt the paint by drying too long.<br />Carla, I do sand the women. I will be doing her next and will explain.<br />BTW, the female in the first photo is a sample I sculpted from one of the barn classes. She has been hanging around for a few years now- can't decide what she wants to be so she is a stand-in when needed.Madsculptorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04163312835415502274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1207002758082734725.post-86739650427918321902011-01-18T13:19:08.356-05:002011-01-18T13:19:08.356-05:00Mark, do you ever sand your pieces?

I know you can just leave this to dry on its own, but I know some people use heat set oils. I use a heat gun on the face, but I can't seem to get the body to cure completely, and suffer the above problems. Suggestions? Thanks!Sculptor?!?https://www.blogger.com/profile/01217588649164930645noreply@blogger.com
