Review: Perfect for sculpting! - If you’re looking for something
affordable to sculpt with that’s actually good quality, this is
perfect. I’ve sculpted with paper clay which is fine but this
clay is much easier to get detailed work out of. The texture is
nice to play with and easy to maneuver. I included an image of
what I’ve been able to make so far and honestly I couldn’t ask
for a better clay to work with. It dries in a day and is perfect
for detailed work. The only issue which is expected is that it
will shrink when it dries so if you add clay on top, expect it to
crack and fall off if you’re not careful. I decided to glue down
what pieces started to fall off and sand it down and it’s
perfectly sturdy enough. Another good thing is this is quite
strong when dry. I’m quite rough with it while sanding and I
haven’t broken anything unless it was an accident on parts that
were loose (like the neck but that was my fault). It’s incredibly
smooth once sanded down and feels very nice in your hand. Very
much recommend for people who want to craft on a budget. If you
add on top of dried clay, be prepared to glue it back on with
nail glue or super glue. I even have very tiny pieces that are
very durable and strong (not pictured). I have suffered any
cracking like some of the reviews have other than when I had clay
on top but that’s it. Very fun to play with
Review: HONEST REVIEW - I had originally bought a different clay
and it was terrible it fell apart easily and took forever to dry
but then I bought this one in hopes that it would be a little bit
better than the one I had bought and it most definitely was it
definitely saved me I made this small piece for my boyfriend's
birthday and it took about two and a half days to fully dry it's
very nice it does dry hard it was very easy to work with there
was the tiniest bit of cracking down the heart but it was a very
easy fix I'm not sure if the cracking was my fault from
transferring it while drying but it wasn't a terrible thing to
happen I just mix some water and clay and paint it over it and it
was ready after reading some reviews I was hesitant to buy it but
it did not let me down and overall I do highly recommend for any
beginners I recommend using water to make it easier to work with
but it wasn't that hard of a project like it was compared to the
other one that I tried out I hope anyone else takes this and has
the same or better experience with this clay like I did 9.5/10
