Bake the Munny with the Sculpy on it?! If thats the case then no wonder this has been so difficult trying to attach it later.

With the vinyl I use a heat gun, but you have to be very careful not to get the vinyl too hot(sounds like you have already experienced this with the oven). Something you might consider is some epoxy putty. It dries on its own, and becomes very hard. It will fix the current situation, but there's a trafeoff as it doesn't stay pliable forever, and is more difficult to sculpt with. When its dry you can sand it.

I'm so new I'm lost to the concept of a heat gun, and about everything you told me but I'll do some research! Thank you so much for all your help!

Hey, sorry if I didn't explain it well enough. As far as a heat gun, just go to any store like a home depot and ask for a heat gun, they should have them. Or go to ebay and type in "heat gun". You don't need anything fancy, just somehting that doesn't get too hot. Should only cost $20 or so. They pretty much look like a hair dryer(you could even try a hair dryer if you got one around, but it will take more work). As far as epoxy clay, the brand is called Apoxie (with an A not an e). Hope this helps! If you have more questions or need help let me know.
