DIY pvc tree stump

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I not going to hijack the thread, but well your cooking up PVC.

If it is sanded lightly 80 grit. Sculpey polymer clay will bond perfectly to it.

Giving lots of artistic possibilities. Just a 10 minute bake at 200. Just support the build with tin foil.

Never used polymer clay. Will have to give it a shot. Do you have a preferred brand and where do you purchase?

20171227_090055.jpg sculpey primo or sculpey 111, Hobby lobby, or online.
Hobby Lobby has it 30% off about 3 times a year.

The sculpey can be thinned with mineral oil, to a peanut butter consistency. Then smeared on as a base coat.

It can also be cooked underwater in a pressure cooker, the water keeps the PVC shape, without an tin foil armature.

I have a vertical PVC return tube I need to turn into a stick, but just working too much since January.

Sculpey comes in several grades, the 12 color pack from wallmart is cheap, but bonds well to PVC, it breaks easily if thinner than 1/4" on stand alone objects.

The sculpey 111, and primo can get very stiff if it is old stock. A meat grinder worked wonders on my supply.
