I’m wondering how long the sheets of Sculpey should be pressed between paper towels before using them?

Thanks!

Dear Rey Bustos

your work is challenging and charming at the same time. I can’t believe I already have my wire doll and my pelvis. The pelvis was really difficult, but I will go on now with the femur. Thank you!
