Re: Sculpy softener
I am not 100% sure that document is a bit vague , it's for the softener hopefully,
Anyone else played with it
Re: Sculpy softener
A word of warning using clay softner though... it will weaken the seams that are exposed to the softener and may cause them to come apart so becareful around the seams.
Re: Sculpy softener

Sorry to hear - "RS"
Sadly once the TPE material breaks down - its usually game over
I found that extreme High temperature is no friend of TPE - unless you run the A/C all the time - whereas a more temperate climate extends TPE life
I do use the little powder bottles on the TPE parts after washing and this does stave off some negative effects - but doesn't eliminate the degradation of TPE
Much like the dolls on the Blade Runner Movie - they all have a time limit - and they will expire eventually
