My Super Sculpey sculpture has been sitting out for a week without being worked on, so it has hardened slightly. I don't want to squash my sculpture trying to make it pliable, so what can I do to make it squishy again?

Is spraying water on it the answer?
 
No, not water. Sculpey is a plastic made soft with a solvent that is cooked off to harden it. One way of softening would be to put it in a warm situation. One choice would be a cardboard box with an electric bulb in it. Another would be to put it in the sun for a while. Or turn on a house oven to low warm for a few minutes then turn it off and put the Sculpey in.
