Okay, I'm trying to make Batista's boot covers with sculpy, I'm not keen on putting my figures in the oven, so I'm putting them in boiling water, I leave them in until the water gets cold, but like, it isn't solid hard, it's hard, but it's still soft enough to like, leave a finger nail imprint in there, anyone know how to make it solid hard?

Use a hairdryer on the top temperature. It makes figures rubbery but they harden after a while. I have only got this to work properly on small sections of sculpey such as my custom Sean O Haire's pointy beard and my Mascarita Sagrada's head when I sculpted over OSFTM Goldbergs entire head. This both dried properly and didn't chip or crack off, but the hair I put on Sean did, so it works as long as you do it for a while and concentrate it on one section for a few minutes and move onto the next. I didn't do this for Sean and so his hair kept breaking off.  In the end i had to superglue it on and seal over it!  |

Thanks for that, Karma given.
But I've heard all you have to do is boil it, and it's Solid hard.

Make sure you are using Sculpey II. I got a block of regular Scupley from Wal-mart and I had the same problem when boiling it. Another thing is when you are buying sculpey make sure the pack you are getting is not too soft you don't want it real hard either, but the softer packs are harder to work with and don't harden as well. Hope that helps.
