You can also boil it to cure if you added the clay to a head to alter the look. That is the best way if you did, because the high temp that is calls for normally distorts the part that is not sculpty.

I drip it in the boiling water for 20 seconds in and 5 out and repeat about 5 to 15 times depending on how thick the sculpty is on the part. I hope that help.

I believe he means forming in the sense of making or sculpting heads from scratch. Sometimes the fingers have minds of their own.
