Artwork by Melita Curphy | I just saw your post about the overdue commission piece and noticed you use super sculpy. If I may ask, do you have trouble with leaving finger prints? I’ve been having trouble not leaving any. Got any tips I could use?

Use some 90% rubbing alcohol and a smooth but firm brush ( or fingers) to smooth the Sculpey surface. That will take care of small imperfections as the alcohol sort of “melts” the surface a little. It will just evaporate off after a little while. Practice with it before using on a major piece just to get used to how it affects the clay. Have fun!
