DAS Air-Hardening Modeling Clay, 2.2 Lb. Block, White Color (387500)

I absolutely loved using the DAS Air-Hardening Modeling Clay, 2.2 Lb. Block! It was soft and easy to work with right out of the package, making sculpting really enjoyable even as a beginner. The clay held details well, dried evenly without needing a kiln, and had a nice smooth finish once hardened. I also appreciated that it didn’t crack easily as long as it dried slowly. The large block gives you plenty to work with for multiple projects. Overall, such a fun and reliable clay for crafting, sculpting, or trying out new creative hobbies — definitely a 5/5 for me!

This stuff is amazing. Its very user friendly. Pliable yet once it hardens its solid. Used it to create a decorative bowl. I even was able to expedite the drying by putting it in the oven, no cracking

Love this easy-to-use art clay. Dries quickly, I didn't notice any warping either. I sealed mine with acrylic paint & they looked great! I think even kids could use this easily.

I used this to attempt a custom MLP for a family members's birthday. I have never attempted anything like this before and was super nervous. The actual design of the mlp was not the best but this review is for the clay and the clay was probably the best part about the overall design. It dries quick without needing an oven and the when painted the colors showed up bright and saturated. I also got a TON of clay for the price. The clay is pretty cheap and cracked a bit here and there but I also had no idea what I was doing. This was really cool to attempt and I still think that (with no experience or research) this turned out well!

The only air-dry clay I use. I have created many, many projects with this clay and have never had any cracking or chipping problems from this clay. It holds up beautifully. Keep it sealed and it will last a very long time. I have opened packages in ziplock bags that are just as fresh as when first opened. Easy to work with and mold.

It was hard to figure out at first but very good! Took a while to dry. Btw, hot glue does not work on it until it’s dry. We painted over it and the paint held well!

I use this stuff to sculpt onto pretty much everything for my small business: clay pots, canvases, recycled glass bottles, and more! Tips: 1. Cracking...so you can't really prevent it. But there are east ways to fix it. For example, My process for sculpting faces is simple. I work in sections. First the nose. Then the eyebrows, cheeks, lips ect...make sure to smooth your seams with A WET PAINTBRUSH... I like to dip my brushed in water then wipe them off on a sponge. Now, let your project dry for at least two days in a low humidy area. In that time, Your project will most likely crack or separate at the seams. At this point, you should make a very thick paste with your clay and use a paintbrush to fill in the cracks and smooth it out as if you were using caulking. Let your project dehydrate completely before sanding, priming, painting and sealing. 2. It's important to work in sections and smooth out any imperfections while the clay is still wet with a paint brush or sponge to prevent cracking or crumbling anywhere other than the seams around the sections. Working in sections also prevents other parts of your project becoming dry and clumpy before you can add any further details. You'll understand what I mean once you work with it more. 3. To make your clay easier to work with...remove the block from the original package and place it in a zipper top bag. Now, and about a tablespoon of water. No more, and possibly less depending on how moist your clay arrives. Let the block sit with the bag sealed for at least an hour, drain any excess water then begin your project by taking pieces from the bag and reasaling it each time you go for a new piece. You will eventually find your preferred texture the more you get to know how to clay behaves. 4. Painting and sealing....I can't stress enough how dry your clay needs to be to successfully create a project that will last. Don't rush it! No matter how dry the clay seems, I can assure you that there is still moisture in there! While your Paint might go on really nicely at first, it will most likely peel off a week later or even sooner if you place it outside because the moisture in the clay began to wick it's way to the surface. I recommend that you follow the steps above for fixing any cracks and then after two days of room temperature drying, place in your oven at 200°-250° for at least 2hours. More or less depending on how thick your project is. The point in this is to dehydrate the clay completely. Then, let cool in the oven. DO NOT TAKE IT OUT RIGHT AWAY! Wait until it's warm enough to take out then WHILE ITS STILL WARM/HOT...I REPEAT...WHILE ITS STILL WARM/HOT... spray/brush on a good sealing primer. Making sure to get in all the crevices! This will prevent the clay from absorbing any moisture out of the air. Trust me. Any bit of moisture will ruin your paint job in the long run. Add two to three coats of primer before painting. 5. Sealing...seal small projects with deco art glaze and bigger outdoor project such as pots with Rust-Oleum crystal clear enamel. Hope this helps!

Great quality air dry clay! Easy to work with! Drys nicely and quickly. Reasonably priced.
