AIR DRY MODELLING CLAY WHITE 500 GR

Air Dry Modelling Clay is a premium quality, natural, self-hardening clay. Its exceptional plasticity and ultra-fine grade allow for excellent detail versatility. Air cures to superior strength and durability. It will not crumble and has minimal shrinkage. It can be carved, sanded, and drilled when dry and accepts virtually any finish. Air Dry Modelling Clay is ready to use right out of the package and is suitable for all sculpting and hand building methods. If working on larger pieces for an extended period, mist piece lightly with water to extend working time. Store unfinished pieces in an airtight bag wrapped with a damp cloth. Keep unused clay in an airtight container. When drying, rotate pieces so all sides get even exposure to the air. Dry times depend on thickness, size, and surrounding environmental conditions. Typically, pieces are ready to decorate in 24 hours and fully cured in 48 to 72 hours. Clay accepts virtually any type of finish. The addition of water to the Modelling Clay results in greater shrinkage. This can lead to cracking and deformations during the drying process. If working with an armature or over a rigid form, completely cover it with a layer of paper before applying the Modelling Clay. This will help reduce the chance of cracking during the drying process. Clay is not food grade material. ACMI AP Certified Non-Toxic. Conforms to ASTM D-4236. Block is 500 g (1.1 lb).
