How do you guys dry sculpey on a pony?

I've left my Sparkler with ear rebuilds in the sun for a few days while I was away, the ear with less rebuild seems to have dried out. I'm not entirely sure I should put her in an oven. Hairdryer? Radiator?

when i use sculpy brand sculpting clay on my ponies, I bake them in the oven using the directions on the package ( I think its 15 minutes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit)

I always make sure to put aluminum foil between the pony and the pan.
but I have never had an issue with a pony melting. and the oven heat is the only way to get sculpy to cure. I have heard of people boiling the sculpy to get it to set, however I do not know of a set time, and this can cause the finished product to be more fragile

i always use the oven. just make sure if you do you put conditioner in her hair to protect it fromt he heat

You could try a lower temp for a short bit, keeping an eye on her.

Awesome, it's just a rebuild on ear nibbles so she won't be in there for too long! Pony building is new one on me, I usually use green stuff on fantasy battle models but decided to use some sculpey in nearly the same colour

Sculpey usually needs to be baked or boiled to cure.  There is some debate about how effective boiling is.  For such a small mod I'd say a lower temp or less time.  You want it to cure fully.  Now if you left it sit and it seems dry and brittle then baking may make it worse.  I have had this problem when I did sculpting over several days instead of doing a multiple fires.  If possible I'd suggest moistening it a bit or even reworking the ear mod and then fire.  You don't want it to separate from the pony or crack.  I hope this makes sense. lol
