Product Information
Full details
The Patarev Modeling Clay Kit is a premium, air-drying craft solution designed for children who enjoy tactile play and creative modeling. Its primary benefit is its unique, non-sticky, and non-staining formula that offers a stress-free cleanup experience while allowing creations to air-dry into durable, bouncy figures without the need for kiln baking. One caveat is that because the material is air-drying, users must ensure they reseal the pots promptly to prevent the clay from hardening prematurely when not in use.

FAQs
Does Patarev require an oven to dry?
No, Patarev is an air-drying clay and will harden naturally on its own without baking.
Is the clay safe for children?
Yes, it is CE certified and designed for children, though adult supervision is recommended for younger users.
Can I reuse the clay once it has dried?
Once the clay has fully dried, it becomes a permanent solid; therefore, it cannot be returned to its moldable state.
Does this clay stain furniture or clothing?
One of the key benefits of Patarev is that it is non-staining and does not leave residue on hands or surfaces.
How many designs can I make with this kit?
The kit comes with specific instructions to create 10 distinct cat designs along with various accessories.
Are the included tools made of plastic or wood?
The kit incorporates FSC-certified wood components, ensuring a high-quality and sustainable crafting experience.
Troubleshooting
Clay feels too dry or stiff
Add a very small drop of water and knead it into the clay until it regains its elasticity.
Colors are bleeding into each other
Ensure you wipe your hands or tools between working with highly contrasting colors to keep them vibrant.
Model is sagging before it dries
Use the included modeling tools to provide structural support while drying, or work in smaller, lighter layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with Patarev is straightforward. Ensure you have a clean, dry surface to work on. Since the clay is non-staining, you do not need special mats, though a smooth plastic surface is ideal for rolling.
To keep the product in top condition:
- Storage: Always return unused clay to its original pot and seal the lid tightly immediately after use.
- Color Mixing: To create new colors, knead two pieces of different colors together until the marble effect disappears into a uniform hue.
- Restoration: If the clay feels slightly dry, you can sometimes rehydrate it by adding a tiny drop of water and kneading it thoroughly.
- Maintenance: Keep away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight during the drying process to ensure an even set.
