Oven cooked sculpey, faux coral

[markstrimaran]

Coral taxidermy. I figure it will look good on the wall. If the aquarium test pieces fail.

Hobby lobby floating hdpe, moss balls. I COULD not resist. Fishing line and a sinker.

The sculpey III still holding.
Algea is growing on them.

I got some old hard, primo sculpey, that is slow to work with. As I am mixing it to get different colors.

The bright ones, just got scrubbed with a brush. The hot glue stalk, has held, with no signs, of cracks.
The premo sculpey, test piece, the white mold, is air dry sculpey. The second hand meat grinder, mineral oil, will make short work of any extra hard old clay. Mixes colors nicely also. Well worth the $5.00 price tag.

They are able to take a scrubbing.

Box load of broken polymer faux coral. Three cans of spray paint. Stainless steel all thread epoxies in.
Bolted to a PPE plastic infused with sand and contoured. With purple algea already growing in tank.

PPE Plastic sheet, hot formed.
Slide them in one at a time.
The sculpey pieces still need anchors. Winters coming so time to make some more.
