Well I made another batch a while ago for a fall theme. Stuck em in a draw and kind of forgot about em. Then yesterday the internet was down, so I pulled em out and baked em. Now not sure what the issue was. Letting them sit for a month? Using a convection oven this time? Or the sanding process?
Anyway, going
through all the different levels of sandpaper up to 1500 was a total PITA. My fingers ached! Doing all that sanding also revealed air bubbles! Now I'm not sure what the cause of that issue was as I mentioned above. But when they came out of the oven there were a few raised spots that were not there when I made them. I didn't inspect them before they went in, so I'm going to assume that these air bubbles somehow developed during the month they sat in the drawer. I really don't know, hopefully someone who uses this stuff regularly will chime in with an answer.
So anyway, all the sanding worked to bring out a good shine with my homemade dremel buffer thingy. I still haven't gotten that plasticX stuff yet, and the warnings on the polishing compound I did get made is unusable. Unfortunately, the finish is marred somewhat by the exposed air bubbles. I thought about maybe plugging them up and re-baking them, but not sure if that would make them brittle or not.
crippledbazooka: If you want one of these shoot me a pm and I'll send ya one.
Lethalp: I've been using mine for a month now. I have read the warnings about not using sculpey for food, and I've read other people saying it's fine. I honestly don't know. I don't actually drip with them, so I'm not exposing them to the eliquid. I just use them as a cart topper cause I don't like the way the cart feels in my mouth.
Oh wait-did you wet the BS or use it dry?
