  • a method that works on this clay
I decided to try this version of clay, after using its more superior pro version. I am very excited to share my experience. It handles and spreads better than the pro version. It seems a little more wet which i prefer, so less water to spread into it by misting or wet fingers. All air dry clays shrink, no exceptions...so here is what worked for me and the clay costs half/50 % less. 1. make sure you have a solid armiture. A. Pack it well with foam or aluminum foil, prevent it from contracting internally. 2. lay clay on even and thick all around, to dry evenly. 3. you must! complete project mass on first session, air dry clay does not bond well on multiple sessions. Even if kept covered with moist medium. Finish it! even if crudely done. 4. Now build a cage out of armiture or clothes hangers. Then place over sculpture. Now cover cage with plastic trash bag and cut many holes through out. You want to slow the drying process, it cracks alot less. And I know it slows it alot but wait 2 days, the clay dry solid hard with far less cracks. 5 this is important!! on cracks now use nail hole filler on cracks, you may need to spread with wet fingers. Then do not touch for 24 hours. Now you can drill, carve and sand to perfect shape! 6. air dry clay does not bond well with slip or patched clay. This method works for me because i live in a dry state of Nevada, maybe Florida you may not need this method. ... show more

  • Be smart about drying the clay!
Loved this product! Just a couple pointers: ALL air dry clay is prone to cracking. The way it dries, the outside normally dries faster than the inside, which causes shrinkage and cracking. I left this little project out for about an hour or two after finishing sculpting it, then I put it in the COLD oven, turned the oven to 225 degrees, set a timer for 17 minutes, then turned off the oven when the alarm went off. Then, I left it in the oven and DID NOT open the oven, until it was completely cool. In this case, I left it overnight and pulled it out in the morning. It was perfect. No cracks, and ready to paint. Best of luck everyone!! ... show more

  • Ok
Messier that other air dry clay. Dries well on small piece in 48 hours, no cracking. Was a good value at $1.00 a pound when I purchased it in May 2022

  • Excellent without kiln for small projects
This clay is quite literally amazing. I was able to get 25 lbs of air dry clay for less than half the cost of some other brands. Here's what to expect: The clay does air dry relatively quickly (it varies depending on the thickness of the piece, but a piece the size and shape of a golf ball would take about 10 minutes to start drying on the outside and maybe an hour to fully dry out), so make sure you keep it moist and air-tight when storing (I usually keep a spray bottle on hand when I'm modelling to re-moisten the clay); though it is air drying, it is best suited for use with a kiln if you intend on putting your finished product through any use. Once dry, if it hasn't been kiln fired, it will be pretty brittle and easy for thinner bits to break off. I use the clay to make small figurines and jewelry pieces without a kiln and I haven't hand any bad experiences, so as long as your product has a nice, solid base without a lot of thin bits hanging off you should be fine without a kiln. If you do want to add a little strength but don't have a kiln, I suggest varnishing with a coat or two of polyurethane or similar. This will help ensure the piece stays intact and whatever colors your paint on or mix in will not get rubbed or flaked off. Update: 7/12/16 Its been about 5 months since I last used this clay and I've kept it stored in a moist plastic bag tied off with a twist-tie and put into a lockable box. I check it a few days ago and it is still incredibly moist and holding its texture just fine. This clay is definitely the real deal and will keep for a very long time as long as it remains moist. ... show more

  • A LOT of good clay
This is my first time using anything but sculpey. This stuff is really awesome. There was enough to make this life size bust plus a lot of extra left over. If you keep it covered in the plastic in came in, it should stay wet through the night or however long you happen to leave it. I do not plan on letting it air dry so I won't comment on that but I will say that the little bit I left out over night was extremely brittle and turned to dust when I pinched it between my fingers. I wouldn't recommend letting it air dry. The package shipped earlier than estimated by almost a week. It is very heavy clay so I suggest making a support system with pipe and a wood base to form the clay around. A quick tip: taking water on your fingers is a great way the smooth the clay down. Overall, this stuff is awesome for an amazing price. Update: I've actually decided to let it air dry since it isn't my best work and it cracked quite a bit. Nothing a little patching up couldn't fix and now it is good as new. It dried very solid and even. I did paint over the wet clay with velvet under glaze before leaving it to dry and that seemed to help alot. I would just say that this is really good and cheap to mess around with. ... show more

  • good clay for good price
ordered in bulk because this was the most i could get at the best price as a college student lmao. surprisingly malleable but not so much that it doesn't hold. does well with armatures, but the weight adds up as my sculpture started to warp (lol). definitely invest in more wire/concrete if you're planning on using alot of clay. ... show more
