Best results are indeed achieved following baking in a normal oven. As
another tip, a good plastic solvent (I've mentioned Tenax 7R
elsewhere--that's a good one for this) on the end of a Q-tip can be used to
eliminate surface cracks and wrinkles once the Sculpey is baked. Use
caution, of course, because a solvent will wear down the helmet unless
you're careful.
