What adhesives are best for adding details (like, say, earrings or eyelashes) onto Sculpy dolls?Good adhesive for details on sculpy dolls?
A lot of different adhesives can be used on polymer clays (baked or raw), but there are also many attachment techniques that don't rely on adhesives.
';Liquid polymer clays'; for example are quite good (but need to be cured, and are not tacky on their own tho they can be used alongside other tacky or instant glues before curing), but there are others as well.
Check out this page at my site for loads of info about adhesives, bonding techniques, and polymer clay:

P.S. Be sure and spell Sculpey correctly (with an E) if you want to do any internet searching for more info about it.
Also be aware if you're not already, that SuperSculpey is only one line of polymer clay that's used for making doll heads/hands/feet or even whole figures for sculpts, so you may end up limiting your searches by using the word Sculpey instead of using ';polymer clay'; (also, other kinds of clay besides polymer clay are used for figures and dolls as well).
P.P.S. There's info, if you're interested, on the most common clays used *for sculpting* (aside from ceramic/earth clay) on the main ';sculpting'; page of my site:

You may also be interested in the other pages relating primarily to sculpting at my polymer clay site:

(You may also notice on those pages how some clayers have dealt with things like ';earrings'; and eyelashes for dolls/figures.)
