I`m preparing for some sculpting and I wanted to try something new for me - the fimo. I bought few packs of white FIMO Soft (I`m not sure if that will be good enough).
I have seen some great minis made of fimo but because this sculpey is hardening in high temperature, I would be happy to hear some instructions how start with it. The first questions I bear in mind are:
1. Whats the best way to hardner the fimo during sculpting proces? Bake in oven/boil in pot/use hairdryer? How long it takes?
2. How smooth the fimo and tools? Use water or some kind of oil (for ex. vaseline)?
3. Should I start sculpting on specific kind of armature?
4. How fimo works with other sculpeys?
5. Does fimo change its shape during the hardening process?
6. What are main advantages/disadvantages of fimo?
I will be happy to hear some tips.

I'd be interested in these questions too. I've not delved into the world of sculpting yet, but any information would be handy.

Szary, check figurki.org, if you haven't done it already. I think there may be some tutorial or at least hints on their forum
