There are two ways to use Sculpty. First, you can boil it. If it is just the head you are modding, I would take it off then reattach it when the Sculpty is hardened.
The other method is to use a hairdryer. I have been using this way lately and it seems to work well. I almost exclusively mod heads (hair, masks) so I created a system to focus the heat onto one spot. I have a paper towel roll which I tore on one end to make it bigger. I place this around the head of the hair dryer, then put the figure's head into the other end. I channels all the heat onto that spot which speeds things up. Just make sure you watch things when you use the hair dryer...fires are bad.
Either method should only take about five minutes. Afterward, I put a thin coat of super glue over it for protection.
One thing to watch when boiling...if you leaving a body in the water too long, it will discolor the plastic, screwing up your skin tones.
Good luck!

No...he is probably going to make a jacket. He wants to know if he leaves scupley around the figure forming a jacket, will it stick to the figure?
