[@dfcprops3849]

Great tests and comparisons. Thanks for sharing your work Evil Ted!

Thank you for watching and subscribing.

I have to try the Bake n' Bend!

[@EvilTedSmith]

Yes, it pretty cool stuff.

[@ArianaBauer]

I love sculpey and have been using it for years!

[@beckymurphy4714]

Ooh. So much potential! The Bake & Bend would be ideal for scales on places like legs and arms where craft foam could get bent or torn.

[@rivards1]

Congrats Sculpey, you've invented the same rubbery curable Plasti-Goop I used in 1969 with my Mattel ThingMaker!

[@EvilTedSmith]

Ha ha I still have my Thing Maker!

[@rivards1]

@@EvilTedSmith I had two - the Monster one (loved the "third eye" you could make with the different color goops and stick to your forehead) and the Soldier one, where you laid in thin wire armatures before you baked the Goop into a flexible toy soldier.

[@E3TCREATIONS]

I will definitely try these cause of my artistic/sculpting background.

[@tlccreates]

Got me excited about new scullery products... but these have been around for years. The ultralight is probably the newest of the bunch but even that has been out about 5 years now. The Liquid clay serves as a good bonding agent for attaching raw clay to baked clay. It doesn’t hold like tacky glue type stuff but will create a good bond in baking.

[@HollywoodColt]

I haven't bought sculpey since I came across apoxey sculpt/clay and found out what resin is. But the flexible stuff looks cool....

[@EvilTedSmith]

Yeah I really dig the bake & bend.

[@TheHerArtSheLoves]

Agree. Once you discover epoxy clay and resin, polymer seems so fragile. Take a look at Cosclay, it's flexible, I'm excited to try it and annoyed to have missed their Kickstarter.

[@palgaea]

That's a great review Ted!!! I would also be incredibly interested in a fire resistant mold tutorial. Because Liquid Sculpey indeed looks great!

[@beckyleeevans6855]

Did you know that you can also bake on most batting, like quilt batting or pillow filler? It's good for support on shapes that aren't flat backed. Just support the sculpt with pillow fluff on a baking sheet. (Becky went through a period sculpting little sculpey fairy dolls.) This lightweight Sculpey is going to be cool. Regular Sculpey can be brittle and heavy. Apoxie Sculpt too.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Thanks for the info Becky.

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Didn't realize Ultra Light and Liquid were new. I've seen sculpting channels use if for like a year

[@EvilTedSmith]

Its new to me and I really like them.

[@husk79]

wow!! could you use the Bake and Bend with foam? like for a helmet or pieces on a sword or weapon?

[@EvilTedSmith]

Yes, once you bake it, then glue it to the foam.

[@BelfryHex]

I wish I knew about this stuff 15 years ago!

[@EvilTedSmith]

Me too!

[@andy-in-indy]

Did you make the gear mold, or buy it? It looks useful! Will the bendy work with a wire armature for stir motion characters?

[@EvilTedSmith]

Yes, I bought on Amazon..amzn.to/33GXAga

[@jiorts]

how would you glue it down to eva foam or other armour materials like pvc perhaps? is it any better than foamclay? just contact cement?

[@EvilTedSmith]

I'd use super glue to glue them to the sealed foam parts.

[@mm0901]

Great review, thank you! New sub here!

[@EvilTedSmith]

Awesome, thank you!

[@therealman5522]

Can you make a evil dead chainsaw?

[@itsagundam79]

Damn, I feel like the bendy stuff would be great for armor and shields! I tried some regular sculpey on Link's shield and it wasn't great, hard to get the right curve. Can the transparent liquid be dyed other colors and how do you do that?

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Best to not constantly use the same oven you cook food in to bake your sculpey. You can build up residue from the baking of polymer clay and lets face it not many people regularly clean their ovens.

[@EvilTedSmith]

Good to know. My wife is marred to a maker, so she cleans the oven a lot.
