Review: Best foam clay out of all the other foam clays I've tried! - 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!
Review: My new favourite material for mini terrain - 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.
