Sculpey on Bondo.. Is it possible?

I've been poking around the internet, looking for the answer to this question.

I see that bondo has been used in repairs to Sculpey, but I want to know if anyone has gone the other way around; a Bondo build finished with Sculpey.

I'd like to use the polymer clay for finish work, as it is easier, cleaner and doesn't set without being told to.. :)

Anyone know if sculpey will adhere to a bondo'd work surface?
 
I have seen separation. I have used it to fill in large cracks and also add detail on top of bondo. I noticed it only separated if I didn't give the sculpey something to grab on to. Like sanding and leaving 'teeth' in the bondo. I used a heat gun to cure the sculpey and voila! If I had the sculpey coming up on the very thin edges I'd just super glue the ends and sand. I don't do it often but that was my process.
 
Ok; good to know.
So, what I should take from it is that it can be done, but I should leave it for a final step only if needed.

I also forgot about heat gun curing. Putting resin in the oven is a bad idea!
