Normally I only bake smaller pieces like heads, marionette parts or
small masks made from Celluclay II. Warpage does not seem to be a
problem. It warps or shrinks far less than plastic wood. (But with my
work it is sometimes hard to tell.) I use heat from a light to speed
drying for larger ones. We heat our studio with a wood stove. So in the
winter I place larger pieces near the stove. In the summer by a window
in a sun beam.

Warpage may be occuring because the pieces are being cured at too high a
temperature.
