I recently picked up some sculpy and was wondering if baking it is the best action when crafting the smaller pieces I picked it up for or if there was a better way of maintaining its shape if baking is the best way then what degree and how long do I bake it for the best results? Thanks.

As far as I know, baking and boiling are the only efficient ways of hardening sculpey. I craft tiny little pieces with it and have never had it change shape while baking.
Baking should be done at 275 degrees F. for 15 minutes per 1/4 inch of thickness.

Thanks now to build various things of extreme might and power such as blackjack and hookers or maybe just a anvil and cauldron and weapons.

Can you make blackjack-playing hookers using the anvil as a table with maybe another hooker using the cauldron as a hot tub? Sorry, my mind got over-excited at the anvil and cauldron ideas.

Personally I feel sculpey is amazing for bases, you can mold it into any shape, for either hill or mound type terrain to even a textured flat city tile base. Plus it's got a good weight to it, but not too heavy, like a coin or washer.

If you use a ceramic tile to sculpt on, you can transfer the tile with your project directly to the oven without handling the piece further and messing it up.
If it is a very small piece, you can "bake" it with a hair dryer. It takes much longer this way, and you need to be attentive with your aim... but it's useful if you live in an apartment and don't have a stove, or if you have a sculpted piece with a lot of different widths and don't want to risk burning the skinny parts to cook the fat ones.
