BOHS Foam Clay, White, 500 g Air-Dry Modelling Clay for Crafts

I purchased the BOHS Air Dry Foam Modelling Clay Lite for craft projects and couldn't be happier with the results. The clay is wonderfully soft and pliable, making it easy to mould into detailed shapes and figures. It's lightweight, doesn't stick excessively to hands, and air-dries nicely without becoming brittle. Perfect for creating figurines, cosplay accessories, and children's craft projects. The finished pieces are surprisingly durable considering how light the material is. I would definitely buy this again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile modelling clay.

What can I say, except that this is the best foam clay I have ever tried in my life? Firstly, some advice for those confused about this type of air dry clay. Foam clay is made from tiny little particles of foam, and once dry, is lightweight, slightly flexible and very durable. Due to the nature of foam clay, how you work with it is a little different to other types of clay, but you can say that about every type of clay really, they all have their quirks and you need to work with them to achieve the best results. So, when you first pull the clay out of the bag, it's quite stretchy. This absolutely has uses. But if you want a firmer clay to work with, all you have to do is condition it for a little bit to allow it to evaporate some of the water, or condition it for about 15 seconds, then squish it out as flat as you can and leave it for a few minutes. Then pick it up and condition it some more and you'll immediately feel that the clay is firmer than it was. With the clay being fresh, you don't need to do anything to stick two pieces together, other than press them together. They will bond immediately, which is a great time saver! It also dries extremely smooth, so you never have to worry about fingerprints. And I've never had any dust stick to it either. Here's an extra little tip if you need to add some weight to your clay. Mix a little cold porcelain into the foam clay. They combine really well and create a whole new type of clay that has great uses! Anyway this is by far the best foam clay I have ever tried. Doesn't dry too quickly so not racing against the clock to finish sculpting, and the consistency is just perfect. Not to soft, not too hard, not to dry, not too wet. I love it!

I loveeeee this!! I got it to help fill in cracks in my foam cosplays but then I started using it to make pieces on its own - it’s great, it’s very malleable when wet and when it dries it’s great - this is also a big bag so you definitely get value for money :)

Great stuff and especially using for cosplay at comic con. Highly recommend it

this stuff is brilliant! clean not sticky, so easy to mold, dries smooth and so light.

I've bought this about a few months ago and it's really good and very sticky, it has a slight odour but i don't mind. I use it to sculpt little figures of Plants vs zombies and it is really fun. Remember to just slide together the little enclosure bar.

First off, the packet is a lot bigger than it looks in the photo. Maybe because the product is so lightweight, I was caught off-guard by how much of it I got in a pack, so you should get your money's worth! This stuff is marvellous. It has a smooth, silky texture and doesn't stick to hands or leave a dry residue like clay. It smells pleasant, and is non-toxic, so you don't need to deal with fumes or needing gloves to handle it. It seems like it sticks to most solid surfaces. I've tested it with solid foam of various types, cardboard (shiny and matte) and plastic, and it seemed to work fine. Once dry, it does shrink slightly, so keep that in mind when modelling! In dry form, the texture is like a firm foam with just a little give when poked. It can be reactivated with water, but doesn't seem to reactivate with acrylic paints, making it pretty easy to make things like cosplay props or mini gaming terrain. I found it really handy for sculpting organic details onto terrain after blocking out the shape with blocks of firm craft foam.

Good for crafting

Very easy to use foam clay, works like a charm!

The BOHS Foam Clay was a great product for crafts and endless creativity for a teen. We purchased in white, which allowed the creation of every possible color easily with the addition of just a tiny bit of food coloring. This made it versatile and more cost effective without having to purchase a range of different colors and have too much material on hand. The material has a unique consistency and is easy to work with, being very pliable and not leaving any residue or mess. This made it possible to just focus on the project rather than cleaning. It was a great material for a teenager over the summer to explore with. The amount of detail able to be achieved with this clay was impressive. Making things ranging from the size just a little bigger than a thumbtack to a tennis ball size was completely possible. Different pieces of different colors can be formed easily and even attach to one another before drying. After forming, there was a minimal amount of shrinkage and reasonable amount of drying time. The dried finished pieces have remained intact and in the same condition as when they were made. They are very light weight, like a feather, and have not become powdery or disintegrated in the least. Some examples of the size and creation possibilities are shown on 8.5x11 pieces of paper and on a mirror (the clay was attached to the mirror with a glue gun). It has been beautiful to see the final, long-lasting creations from such a simple material, and we highly recommend it.

Ich finde es toll dass die Masse nicht an den Fingern klebt. Aber leider verformt sie sich beim trocknen extrem (zerfließt nahezu) so dass sie für meine Projekte komplett unbrauchbar ist. Ich hoffe ich finde noch eine Verwendung dafür, bisher kann ich damit nichts anfangen. Alles was anfangs super aussah war nach einer Nacht komplett verformt. Details gehen nicht

i love this stuff it's amazing, it arrived very fast, light weight, works well with almost anything, can be textured, is like a blu-tack to work with and can also be reactivated with water, its amazing for 3d art, cosplays and modelling. only complaint is the package arrived exposed, if punctured, the entire thing can dry out, but it was fine.

Ich war durch YT-Videos auf "Schaum-Ton" aufmerksam geworden, weil ich Actionfiguren und Dioramen bastele und eine Modelliermasse wollte, die schön leicht ist/bleibt/wird. Hierfür ist dieses Produkt ganz hervorragend geeignet! Die Verarbeitung ist Klasse, es lässt sich laaaang ziehen wie Kaugummi, es lässt sich wunderbar in Silikonformen etc. pressen (und auch leicht wieder entfernen - notfalls die Form mit etwas auspinseln). Die Masse ist so weich, dass man sie sehr schön mit z.B. Silikonwerkzeugen bearbeiten kann, um z.B. Gesichter zu erstellen oder andere feine Strukturen. Im Gegensatz zu einigen lufthärtenden Produkten bilden sich beim BOHS Schaum-Ton keine oder nur mikrofeine Risse! 24h kann ich allerdings nicht bestätigen, das kommt wohl auf die Form, Menge usw. an, eher 24-48h sollte man schon einplanen. Und je nachdem wie dünn/schmal man modelliert, bleibt das fertige Produkt auch in gewissem Rahmen biegsam und flexibel (man sollte allerdings nicht erwarten, dass man es so stark biegen kann wie Gummi, dann bricht es natürlich...). Auch Kolorieren geht recht gut (ich verwende Acrylfarben) - zusammen fassend kann ich sagen, dass ich hochzufrieden bin, lediglich den Preis empfinde ich als etwas zu hoch. ;)
