etex over baked sculpey

hello all, this is my first post on the forum. and I have a pretty straightforward question. I have sculpted two lure parts for a prototype. and they turned out very well. I have never epoxied over sculpey masters. and I want to have a nice smooth finish naturally before I cast the molds. I have heard that some spray can gloss coats will not dry over some clays. so I figured I would ask before I ruined my masters, if etex would cure ok on them.

Welcome to the forum.
Yup, epoxy over skulpy works really well. I use a light coat of UV cure and it's as smooth as glass. Just have to watch for bubbles and make sure it doesn't sag or fill up any cracks you don't want filled! Careful touch up can be done with an emery file if needed.
Good luck on your project!
best
