DAS White Modelling Clay 500g - DAS - 387000

No, DAS White Modelling Clay is a self-hardening, air-drying clay. It requires no baking and will solidify naturally when exposed to air.

The drying time is approximately 24 hours per centimeter of thickness. Thicker pieces will naturally take longer to dry completely.

Once DAS clay has fully dried and hardened, it cannot be re-softened or re-molded back to its original pliable state.

You can use acrylic paints, poster paints, or other craft paints on your dried DAS clay projects. A glossy varnish can also be applied for a protective finish.

Yes, DAS White Modelling Clay is PVC-free and contains only vegetable binders. While generally safe, adult supervision is recommended for young children during crafting activities.

While the clay dries hard and strong, for outdoor use, it is highly recommended to seal your finished piece with a waterproof and UV-resistant varnish or sealant to protect it from the elements and prevent degradation over time.

If the clay feels a bit dry, try kneading it thoroughly. For very dry clay, add a tiny amount of water (a few drops) and knead repeatedly until it softens. Do not add too much water at once.

Cracking often occurs if the clay dries too quickly or unevenly. Try to ensure your project has a consistent thickness. Allow it to dry slowly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Covering it loosely with plastic wrap for the first few hours can help slow the drying process.

Smooth the clay thoroughly with your fingers or a modeling tool while it is still wet. After it has completely dried, you can gently sand the surface with fine-grit sandpaper to achieve a smoother finish before painting or varnishing.

Ensure your clay project is completely dry and free from dust or oils before painting. For best results, you can apply a thin coat of gesso or a primer specifically designed for crafts before painting with acrylics or poster paints.
