The recommendation above of letting it cure for about 15 minutes does take some of the stickiness out of it, but it remains workable. I keep the tool very wet by dipping it in water every minute or so. The tissue is used to keep the water out of the way of the detail. There is a tool technique trick too. Try not to drag the tool over the surface you're working on too much. It's better to roll it if you can. I have a load of differently shaped tools and I can usually find one of the right shape to roll. Hope that helps, Owen @Winter Hill Games It is always a little sticky.

How did you find using the sculpting tool on the Green Stuff? It tends to stick like crazy when we use it in the club, do you add some vaseline to the tools tip for example or just 'work' with it? Looking forward to seeing the pier too! Nicely done. How did you find using the sculpting tool on the Green Stuff?
