How to use

Work the clay with clean hands or simple modeling tools to achieve the desired shape and detail. Assemble parts by pressing edges together and smoothing seams before drying. Allow pieces to dry at room temperature on a flat, non-stick surface; drying time depends on wall thickness and ambient conditions. Thicker sections will require longer drying times. After the clay is fully dry and firm, surface treatment such as light sanding, painting with acrylics and sealing with varnish can be applied.

Recommendations

Store the unopened material in a cool, dry place. During use, keep unused portions sealed to prevent premature drying. For even curing, maintain moderate room temperature and allow sufficient drying time for thicker models. Use acrylic paints and water-based varnishes for best adhesion; avoid high-heat processes.
