Review: The best clay I've ever used - Works like magic... I bought this after some clay projects of mine using a different clay crumbled and cracked. The pieces I build are all highly detailed and prone to breakage so require a good clay. I bought this in the hopes of rebuilding them and smoothing the cracks... It was certainly worth it, it dried very quickly, is strong, and has saved multiple projects, they went from crumbling messes to strong sculptures that are now ready to paint within a matter of hours plus the new models I have built from it have not cracked at all. It's a little denser and harder to mold than your average air dry clay and I don't know what it's made of, it's not quite so easy to work with, though still soft enough to be maluable it requires a little patience, but whatever this formula is - it's another breed of clay entirely!!!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am having trouble envisioning how much "two pounds" is?  I need enough for ten children to form a life-sized "hand."  How many packages should I order.**
A: My 2.2 pound block is much smaller than I thought it would be.  Since the other answer uses butter as an example, I will too - imagine 4 and a half maybe 5 sticks of butter.  My friend got a 5 pound box of air-hardening modeling clay (different brand) and that was about the size I was hoping for from this order.

**Q: What is the life expectancy of something made from this clay? I've heard of other products becoming powder after a year.**
A: It is really hard to say how long it will last.  However, keep in mind that it is raw clay that is not being fired or changed in any way but other than letting the water evaporate out of it.  It will not last forever, but it could last anywhere from a few weeks to several years.  If you want something permanent, consider a ceramic clay that is fired in a kiln.

**Q: Does the clay actually dry hard? As in solid and rock steady, or softer and crumbly.**
A: Hard. Not hard as a rock; certainly breakable but not soft and not crumbly.  Good for plaque, tile, figurines, beads etc

**Q: Will the clay dissolve in water after hardening?**
A: Yes it does, but I have used a water safe glaze on it after painting and had no issues. I made a sponge bowl for my clay work just to see if it would work and so far after 6 months of use the water has not damaged the sculpture. 
I am not sure that I would submerge the clay form, or keep liquid in it all the time, but it seems to be resistant with the proper glazes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Paper based clay that is great for kids
*by A***R on 20 December 2021*

This clay is not what i was expecting, but worked quite well in the end. There is no indication as to what the product is on the packaging and after searching online its still not perfectly clear. I was expecting some sort of strong smelling plastic based clay after reading some of the reviews, but its actually paper based and has no strong smell to it in my opinion. The price initially seemed great, but when you consider its mostly mushed paper, its not quite as good value as i first thought. The clay is quite hard to shape as the paper base seems to have some squishiness to it and it doesn't handle the same as a real clay would. Saying that, it is possible to create some fairly detailed sculptures with some time and patience. Adding more water helps to keep it pliable and helps with finer details. One benefit over other clays is that once it is dry you can file, sand and drill it. You can also wet it again and smooth over with your finger to get a smooth surface. I found painting on a watered down layer of PVA helped to seal the surface, so it would take paint a lot better. It does take a while to dry if you make thicker objects. Around 24h per CM of thickness according to some hobby sites and I'd say that was correct. Thicker projects will feel spongy and smooth after 24h and 48h it'll feel fully dry and hard, but the inside will still be soft and handling too roughly will crack the outer layer as I found out the hard way. Give it longer to be safe. If you do break it, you can mend it using some watered down clay to make a slurry and use it like a glue. Adding more clay after it has dried can also be done using the slurry, or just wetting the surface until it becomes sticky, then new clay will stick to it. I did read that using a fan or heat to speed up drying will cause cracks, but this wasn't the case for me in my testing with a few pieces. I put them behind my computers exhaust fan, which blows out warm air. The pieces dried faster and I didn't get any cracking. This was great for adding extra details after and being able to then sand them etc. Overall its an interesting medium that would be ideal for kids to play with and make some cool projects. Its a lot cheaper and easier than real clay as it doesn't need to be fired in a kiln, but being paper it means you can't use it for anything that would encounter moisture, which limits its uses somewhat. The long drying times could also be a major downside for some. I think the polymer clays could be a happy medium, but they're also a lot more expensive than this clay.
