Please do let me know what you think, thanks for watching, it means a lot to me x
which brand of air dry clay s good?
@@baharehshirinfar3451 my preference is DAS, but use what you can get hold of and experiment, enjoy, thank you
Lovely! I really liked the rolled-in leaf. Thank you for sharing.
@@sazennonumber Wonderful thank you 😊 If I were to make that one again I think I would make the top loop a little thicker, but it's still sturdy and going strong
@@RedRockingBird It looks perfect to me, but you can touch it, so if it doesn't feel strong enough that would be a good idea. :)
Oh my god! Your voice makes me so calm! I feel like I found the female Bob Ross! Love it, thank you!
That makes me smile, thank you for your lovely comments, more clay tutorials coming soon and lots more creativity over here, enjoy, and have a great day.
Ohh Bob was my mentor when I was young!! I have his CDs now but have switched to making cute little things with clay. ❤️🤗💖
@@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 amazing 🤩❤️
Ive watched loads of vids and just come across yours. Hoorah! I love the easy way you explain everything.......no nonsense, annoying music, stupid jokes or waffle which all drive me potty! Yes...I know..... I’m Mrs Grumpy from Grumpyville
You have a very soothing easy to listen to voice! I also like that you use simple everyday items, which makes things much more affordable
....encouraging when you’re trying out this craft for the first time.
Big Thankyou!

Hi, I love your message, thank you, I love to encourage people to be creative and really believe you don’t need all fancy equipment and the fun bit is to give it a go without high expense, and I too appreciate watching videos that get to the point without too much chit chat. Have a great day, you’ve brightened my day with your lovely comment 😊
I agree with you. If it's just music in the background with no talking I just turn the volume down/off. But can't stand people waffling! when their videos could be half as long.
@@liverbird46 I absolutely agree. Her voice is easy on the ears and precise. I have unsubscribed to other's that are just too loud without getting to the point. I love her site. Just found her. 💜❤️🤗💖
Yes indeed, coffee stirring straws like she is using are great for putting your holes in the top, perfect size and cost nothing. 😉 Ditto with her voice and how she gets straight to the point and uses what she has to work with. ❤️👍🏼
@@rendaowe ❤️❤️❤️
I just bought some air dry clay and can't wait to begin making jewelry. I have searched a lot of sites that appeal to me, and yours is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for your lovely comment, it makes my day, good luck with your venture. I'm just experimenting with other materials for my videos at the moment, but all the finished items can be made from air dry clay.
Let it dry at not too warm a room temp, let it dry slower to avoid cracks, that's my first tip : ) Enjoy
Your site appeals to me. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, lots more videos coming soon, I try to post a new one very Friday 😍
It’s so pretty 💖💖💖
Glad you like them thank you 😊
Thank you , bless you :)
Thank you for watching ✨ ❤️
I have so many art supplies, including air dry clay, that I hope to start actually using so this video was super helpful to me for ideas on how to use up my air dry clay! I even drew out little sketches and ideas for this! I'll probably seal mine in UV Resin but I really love to paint with acrylics so I'm thinking, after seeing this video, that I'll make some blanks with my air dry clay and then paint my heart's desire on them and then turn them into jewelry! Thank you for a wonderful video even though I'm three years late it seeing it. 🙂
Amazing plan, UV resin works the best if you have it 👍 Lots more creative ideas over here for your clay, thank you and have fun 😊🌸💜
I truly love your creativity! Since one week i work with air dry clay too and i cant get enough of it :D 2,5 kg are gone now and more can come with pleasure. So i just wanted to say Thank you! Now i'll make my Grandma a Necklace like the first one in your Video.
Sounds absolutely wonderful Michelle, enjoy your projects and thank you 😊🙈
There's are adorable. 🥰
Thank you glad you like
Thank you so much. Using your ideas of using things we already have , I used a small hair comb for the design and it looked wonderful.
They sound wonderful, happy crafting, thanks 😊
The curled one is absolutely Stunning!! Thank you for uploading this video and showing us how to do it all.
Thank you, and really very simple too, I hope you make some and love them, enjoy
I have always wanted to try this.. Thanks for sharing..! 😊👍🛎 I look forward to more videos..!
Thank you, and yes lots more coming soon, have a great day 😊
Thank you for your tutorials - they're fantastic! I'm so excited to try these at home :)
Have fun, thank you 😊
I love how you do it so neatly and organized. You are so careful in every detail of it. Well done. 😍
Thank you 😍 I will be doing another similar video with new designs soon
Lots of good tips for a beginner in this video - thanks so much!
Happy it helps, thank you for watching 😊
Gorgeous.
Thank you 😊
This is SO useful I really love these designs. Thank you!
I'm so glad, thank you 😊
Nice job! Yrs ago ... I made some flour salt and water clay and made some ornaments and buttons, painted, varnished. I also use to make jewelry out of some thicker paper product (can't remember what it actually was) adding thin wire, tiny beads and painting. It was fun. I actually sold them, myself! I may have to try my hand at again for the memory of.
Oh yes do, it sounds lovely and a lot of fun, thank you 😊
You are so creative and you make beautiful things :)
Aw thank you 😊
I make my own cool porcelain clay that dries super hard. But I love the air dry clay as well. I've been working on little bowl trinket plates and made an ink well. I love watching mudlarking and really wanted a clay pot. Is a little wonky. Thank you for sharing your art 😊🙏🙌🤗 they're adorable. And like I told my children when they were young, I'd rather have something they make more than any store bought item. It means you made it from your heart. Now my daughter's make Native bead jewellery and my youngest went to college as an art major. I'm so proud of them. I struggle and learn by my mistakes!! 😆 But have plenty of slip 😎🙏🙌🤗. It is so relaxing ❤️💜💖. Thank you for helping me learn more.
Wonderful, sounds like your encouragement for your kids creativity is paying off 💖 Loving all things creative, thanks for your support
Enjoyed watching your project come to life!
Thank you that's fab, love making creative videos, have a great day
how fun! you have many talents and hobbies!
Thanks Catherine, yes so so many hobbies 😍
Thank you so much! Such a great video, you explain things so simply, it's easy to follow and as others have noted you have a very soothing voice, this gives me the confidence to try this new medium - excited !!
wonderful, thank you so much for getting in touch too, good luck with your projects, I have so many more air dry clay videos to come too, enjoy
Great ideas, they look amazing! Very talented.
You know me well hahaha
Lovely!
Thank you 😍
wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much! Not a wasted moment of any video timing, instruction, product/tool use and very thorough. What a gem
You're very welcome, that’s kind of you to say and makes me happy thank you 😊
Just blow on the other side of the straw when you poke a hole and the clay will come right out. So much easier and faster! Love your work!
Sure, only thing with that is after blowing in it many times it gets ‘foggy’ in there! Thank you 😊❤️
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you create these stunning and gorgeous pendants, my favourite is the blue one, because it’s got such an earthy feel to it. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

Thank you, I love this kind of craft, simple but effective
Such a great tutorial!!
Thank you so kind of you to say, this was one of my first clay videos, so learning more about making videos as I go along
I like that. I would put yarn in the holes of the first one.
Super that would look lovely, thanks, happy crafting 😊
Your videos are amazing 😍 thank you
Aw you're so kind, so much more to come 💜
Brilliant thanks!!

Ps the curled leaf is beautiful
Wonderful and welcome, thank you ❤️
great video thank you
Thank you for watching, more clay designs on a Christmas video later on today, have a great day 😊
Beautiful
Thank you ❤️
I was wondering if you can use a pasta machine to roll air dry clay out ? I use this with polymer clay and just wondered. thanks
You could do although it is stickier than polymer clay so will likely get stuck to it a bit easier and need washing regularly if you want to dedicate one to just air dry clay, I find a rolling pin works just great. If you are worried about the thickness, set something equal down either side to guide the thickness. Thanks, Sarah
If you have already used polymer clay in the pasta machine , you may consider rolling the air dry clay thru the machine between 2 sheets of parchment paper
@@debbrady497 thanks
@@RedRockingBird you can actually get rolling pins with color coded end pieces that help with keeping even thickness (i worded that weird but I'm exhausted so hopefully yall know what I mean 😅)
really liket this video gonna try it
Super, enjoy 😊
Yay 👏👏👏❤️
Thanks ❤️😊❤️
Very lovely indeed 😍😍😍☺️ thanks for sharing....I always like seeing your channel....very impressed and your voice is soothing especially before I go to sleep.
Thank you so much 😊 keep enjoying 💖
Beautiful I love your creations. Wish i could do some.
Thank you 😊
Been watching a lot of your recent clay videos, just came back to this one. I see that the round red cookie cutter is timeless haha, perhaps you should make it your channel mascot :D
Thank you, heehee that's funny, some things I realise I've had for 30 years!
Wonderfull, I love to see your work , thanks for this sharing again .
It’s really good and good to understand how to make it .
But realization 😅 it’s another thing .
For me now it is so difficult to be relaxing and to do what I really want to do , my head is tired .
I hope 🤞 I’ll become too makes some easy little things. Glad to see yours video’s 🙏🏽 your so kind person , very thankful 😊 bye 👋
Thank you Brigitta, I wish you success and enjoyment with your projects
+Red Rocking Bird, I really enjoyed your video. The clear and relaxed way you explain what you are doing. Your calm and gentle teaching style. Your pleasant and easy to understand way of speaking. The clean, uncluttered, attractive way your work area and supplies are shown.
I have so many projects planned or in some sort of beginning stages, but everything is an unorganized mish mash. You have inspired me to do some major organizing work. I know if I can get my "making" areas cleaned up and organized, I'll finally be able to actually get some projects done.
I am keeping in my mind a picture of your little work spot shown in the video as a kind of goal for me. It's very inviting.
I am subscribing and looking forward to more of your videos. Thanks so much for doing what you do and being so good at sharing it. ~Janet
Hi Janet, thank you so much for your absolutely lovely message, I am so so glad it has inspired you. Creativity is so good for the soul. Having a clear and tidy workspace really helps to focus, mines not always so neat! Many more projects on here to explore, clay and other crafts too. Thanks, have a great day, Sarah
@@RedRockingBird Thanks Sarah. And it's comforting to know yours is not always so neat. But it's usually better when everything is clean and well organized. I'm guessing doing videos is a way to help keep things organized. Kind of like straightening up and cleaning because company is coming. Haha!
🤣 yes totally like that. Making videos also helps me keep focussed on fully completing a project so I can show you all. Us creatives can be all too keen to move onto the brand new shiny project and not completing that last 🙈 Tidy and organised is good. 🥰
@@RedRockingBird Oh, man am I so easily distracted with new project ideas! As I'm going through my mess of supplies and unfinished projects, it's great to find things I really want to finish. It's great to find a supply I really like, but had forgotten about.
Most are a project in a stage of design development and a bunch of ideas come to mind about what all I can do with it and how to finish it and what other projects can spin off from it. I can't resist fiddling with it a bit.
There are so many rabbit holes and I want to wander down all of them. 🙄
Maybe I should just pick one project with the goal of turning it into a video. Only one. Maybe that could make me learn some self discipline.
Meanwhile, I will try to stay away from researching video making. That could turn into a giant rabbit hole. 😱
Omg I can relate. I make a little of everything and am working on storage to keep my supplies for each medium separate!! 🤣🤣
Beautiful work! I use homemade cold porcelain :) Hugs....Janie
Thanks Janie, I love homemade porcelain too, i have videos and recipe for that over here too, just love the whole process of being able to make it from start to finish. Have a great day
@@RedRockingBird Can you post a link to your homemade porcelain please. I looked through your videos but couldn't find it.
@@liverbird46 Hi, ruclips.net/video/ncn9bvdCN2Y/видео.html
I must change that thumbnail picture, hope you get on well with it
@@RedRockingBird Thank you so much 😉
@@liverbird46 you're welcome
Very nice :)
Thank you ❤️
Many thanks for this helpful video! Wonderful creations! I'm hoping to start using air dry clay for jewellery; I wonder if it is possible to set bigger stones such as small amber pieces into this clay or will they fall out? Do I need to use a special sealant or would an acrylic varnish suffice?
I'm really not sure how that will work, as you wouldn't want to get the varnish on the stones etc As the clay dries it would crack around a solid object too and would then need fixing.
I have started watching your videos from yesterday and I'm loving it ❤ I was thinking to start a small business with clay articles, though I am already into nail extensions and press on nails
I love your voice ❤
I wanted to know if we could bake them in microwave to speed up drying time?
Wonderful, but no slow drying reduces cracks, I would never put in the microwave
@@RedRockingBird thank you so much for replying ❤💕
I'm quite pleased with them as well. they're absolutely lovely!!!
Thank you Velica 😊
I have seen a so many sites that to make a dry clay things
But nothing I got . After looking so many sites I got you
Exciting things you are very talented too.
Now I have seemed so many videos of you .
Actually what to say I don't know 😕 😅. I love you ❤ 💜 😘 💕 😍 ♥ ❤ 💜 😘 💕
Keep doing.
Thank you, that really makes my day that you are enjoying my videos, I have another clay video coming out in the next few weeks and I hope you will enjoy this and the rest too, keep watching and please keep commenting and liking 😍
You could also use a bead reamer to sand those tiny holes too.
Hi, thanks, yes your sure could use a bead reamer, if you have one, I don't, although I probably do have a drill bit pretty similar, I love to use what i have to hand and hope to inspire newbies who don't necessarily want to go out and spend lots on so many different tools.
What do you like to make? Thanks for watching
@@RedRockingBird I watched a video where applying cling wrap over the clay and then cutting it with a shaped tool would produce a rounded edge, instead of a hard flat one.
In terms of durability and hardness, I guess a coat or two of clear resin would help, but yeah, I prefer keeping everything simple, practical, and manageable.
The last time I worked with Das Clay was in 2003, when I was making architecture and environments for military dioramas.
I recently opened an air tight container from 17 years ago, and this terra cotta Das Clay was still moist and pliable, unbelievable.
Okay, enough rambling for one comment, love your work and videos.
@@billys3400 thank you, yes I love this technique. Your projects sound fab, hope you are keeping it up. I too found some terracotta clay in the garage which was over 10 years old and was still good to go 👌👍 Amazing, enjoy 😊
This was great, thanks! Can I just ask though, when you attach the findings (like jump rings or a bail) do you do that before the clay has dried, or afterwards? I haven't worked with air dry clay in jewellery making, so I'm curious. Thanks for sharing this video, very inspiring! :)
Hi, thanks for watching, I typically don't use findings with air dry clay, I like to knot cord around it, in a use what you have kind of way, but i do have a pouch full of findings that i do use for other jewellery projects, if using with the clay I would tend to add afterwards, so they don't mark the clay, but it really depends on the piece. Try different ways till you find works best for your project. This is just a bit of fun and I love wearing mine. Happy crafting, Sarah
@@RedRockingBird Thanks for your quick reply :) I was hoping to start small with say, earrings, or maybe a simple beaded bracelet, which led to my question for you. However, I do realise (having begun with a small decorated pendant this morning) that its probably best not to overcomplicate things! :)
@@scribbleartie hope you’re still enjoying 😊
I love your designs :D You're really inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing, sub'd! Love your work!
Also, is this type of clay cold porcelain or paper clay? Thanks! Also, how do you finish the backs of these? Do you paint those portions as well, similar to the front of the pendant?
(Edit) The more I watch your designs come to life, the more I'm just wowed by your creations!
So kind of you to say thank you. I have more of these to come soon. Yes I paint the fronts and the backs the same way, I'm just getting to grips with the videos and how i put them together, making sure i say all the right bits! : )
This is the same as DAS air dry clay, you could use cold porcelain or the hot method too, I've not tried paper clay but it is on my list of things to try.
Enjoy your projects : )
@@RedRockingBird You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know as well, I'm going to try my hand at a pendant with cold porcelain. I love how creative you are and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos ! Thanks for being awesome and inspiring! :D
@@rubydragonjd1 Yay 🥰 Enjoy your pendant project, you can always hashtag RedRockingBirdMake on instagram and then I'll see it x
I love your work and how you explain! What kind of clay you using? I see neither your hand nor your roller gets white! When I use my white clay, it’s so messy and everything becomes white! How much you knead the clay? Thank you for your answer.
Thank you, my hands do get pretty messy too, but with these smaller items there was not much manipulation so not so much mess. I use DAS or hobbycraft clay, both seem the same. I now 'slap' the clay more than 'knead' it when fresh from the packet, if smaller pieces rolled together then I knead till smooth.
Love your tutorials thank you. Can you tell me please does this break easily ? Many thanks
If too thin then it can yes, but it's not as bad as you can imagine, this DAS clay is great and I do a drop test in this video: ruclips.net/video/kSdINQ8KGBI/видео.html
Very nice
Thank you, just working on some more air dry clay videos
ruclips.net/video/IC3RVgGCC2s/видео.html
just published another, a dishes one coming next
3 little dishes including ring dish

Just as I'm looking for clay ideas. I don't have much patience right now as I'm recovering from a 2020 injury. Being an artist I think I need to try something different.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Air dry clay is a wonderful medium to use, from beginners to far beyond. I too am an artist but love very much to work in 3D, best wishes, what do you think you will make?
thank you. I have no idea hence I was surfing RUclips for ideas. I normally work 2d but made my first Christmas themed diorama in December now looking for a change.
Don't know if it was a dud bottle, but I used Modge Podge once, to varnish some paper beads, and five years later they are STILL tacky. Haven't used it since. Clear nail polish worked better.
How strange, really not sure. I too have used nail top coat and had great results but lots have people have said nail polish goes tacky after time, but all brands will be different. Thanks, enjoy your projects 😊
how fragile is the piece after dried. Thanks for your lovely video.
Hi, i wouldn’t say they are fragile, if you do them at least 5mm at first, see what you think, when they’re painted and spray varnished it does give them more strength too, of course if you put a fare bit of pressure on them you could break them, but none of mine have broken so far. Thank you for watching I’m glad you enjoyed 😊
Unique and stylish. Do you prefer this kind of clay, and if so, why. I bought some a couple of years ago but never used it. How does it hold up and how easy is it to work with? Thank you for sharing this with us.....now I have an idea what to do with 20 pounds sitting in my closet.....looking forward to seeing more.👍😊🌟
I love air dry clay yes and it’s a preference as it’s lovely to sculpt and is very affordable here. Some jewellery would be better from polymer clay but air dry is good for the chunkier pieces 👍 Enjoy your projects
I really enjoyed your tutorial of making jewelry with air dry clay. I didn't know it was possible because it is so tiny and fragile. But doesn't it break very quickly? Or is it stronger than I think it is when dried?
Glad you enjoyed, the leaf shape on that is hollow was a bit too delicate and did break, chunkier jewellery works better, here’s my durability video: DAS Air Dry Clay - Durability - Stop Cracks
ruclips.net/video/kSdINQ8KGBI/видео.html
Thanks
lovely tute thank you, do you find that thinner pieces break easily, mine do .... is there anything to help prevent this happening xx
Hi, thank you for your message. Make sure you condition the clay when you get it straight out the packet, so knead it really well first, add as little water as possible along the whole process to avoid cracks, obviously the larger you roll the more likely for cracks but I've not had my dishes crack(ruclips.net/video/vZVJhRxiOa8/видео.html), also don't dry to quickly ie near a heat source. The jewellery is great as small to practice on : )
Sarah
@@RedRockingBird thank you for that. I went to make a small ink well and ended up with a jam jar 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 😍
Wonderfully made and shared,appreciate your help
Thank you 😊
Hi. I used to varnish my baked fimo jewellery with either water based varnish or the ones used for small model cars but found them sticky even after drying. Dose this Wilko spray work?
Hi, I use air dry clay here, polymer clay reacts differently to some varnishes, I would use the top coat that the polymer clay brand suggests, so there is no chemical reaction to cause it to go sticky and spoil
Thank you for sharing this. Is Mod Podge the same thing as PVA in the UK?
Thank you for watching, very very similar, just I think mod podge is stronger and you get different variations of it 😊
Does this Mod Podge seal the clay and the paint ? Or does it just give it a shine without protecting it ? Thank you x
Hi, it will seal the clay, but not so that it’s waterproof, just splash proof, you can get Matt or shiny etc. Spray lacquer is good. Hope that helps
Nice art! Great video. Whats the music that you played?
Thank you, it’s one of the free ones, I’ll check.
More recent videos I use Ben Sound, which is great
I love the environment and the soft music too.
Thank you for sharing. Is air dried clay water proof and is jewellery able to be worn in rain? Also can I use Mod Podge gloss to seal and varnish the pieces I make?
Air dry clay once fully dried is not waterproof no, if you put it in water it would completely disintegrate eventually, having said that if you add a waterproof coating like polyurethane or resin or similar it can withstand the rain.
For general purpose use you can use mod podge
Is the silver powder like a mica powder? I've got loads from when I used to do epoxy resin
I think so, give it a go
Hi. A lot of spray varnishes turn polymer clay sticky due to reactions with the plasticisers in the clay. Have you found any to be a problem on air dry clay ?
This is why I love air dry clay, I’ve never had any issues with a top coat reacting with it, it’s a very different material to polymer clay, over acrylic paint varnishes and lacquers work great on air dry clay
Hi... Very nice..... How long does the clay wants to dry deforestation painting...
Hi thank you, for these smaller pieces I make sure I leave them for 48 hours, but depends on climate, with the white clay you will see it turn from grey to white once dry.
Where did you get ceremony tile to make your jewellery with airdry clay
The tile is a smooth tile left over from our home renovation projects, anything smooth even a piece of glass I find works well, many people like a wood board but you’d have to lift and dry on a smooth surface instead
Will this jewelry break easily? I’d like to use this type of clay rather than a polymer clay.
Hi, when acrylic paint is applied and then a lacquer/varnish to finish I find they are fairly durable when made to 4mm or more, obviously if you make them very thin there is more chance it will break like with polymer clay. And most things if you apply enough force could break, but I find the clay works well for me. I just make mine for personal use and for gifts, hope that helps, enjoy your project.
@@RedRockingBird Thank you so much! I love your style.
@@caseyd4949 thank you, enjoy your project
did u use the dry brush with the green and powder?did u use water to make the paint move more on the brush?and the last one u painted with the holes how did u get the paint on the holes so it all looked the same
Yes a little water can help the acrylic paint glide better, just not too much. For the holes just have a small amount in the brush and paint gently so the paint does not pool, 2-3 thin coats of paint are better than 1 thick coat, hope that helps, Sarah
@@RedRockingBird so after each layer let dry?with normal clay how u can put it in like a pasta machine to flaten it.can u do the same with this clay
@@RedRockingBird with air dry clay the stuff u dont use like the stuff out side the bowl can that be re used if u put it in a bag?or once the air has touched it that it cant be used again?
Yes always let anything dry between layers.
You could use a pasta machine, as long as you no longer use it for pasta again, although I find rolling with a rolling pin works well, you could always roll between battons or coins to give an even thickness ❤️
Definitely use it all, collect the excess, knead it into a ball and put back in packet and seal 👍
How durable are air dried clay projects?
I like it, here's my durability video: ruclips.net/video/kSdINQ8KGBI/видео.html
Found some tiny floral mini cutouts used for baking cakes. They work nicely and there's a few in the bake section of the local craft store. They are by a company called Wilton. There's one for a rose flower, too. Love the way it works well with the clay similar to designs done on some cakes using fondant, a type of frosting.
Wonderful, thank you for sharing with us.
I have some cute daisy cutters 😊❤️
Can you make rings with air dry clay?
I haven’t, you wouldn’t want to make anything too delicate
What’s the difference between das and polymer clay please 😊
Das air dry clay is air dry, no baking required, polymer clay has very different proper and needs baking. Das smart is polymer clay 😊
How do you store jewelries made out of air dry clay?
mainly on my trinket tray
Do we need to bake
No you do not bake air dry clay, it’s best dried slowly
These are gawjus.. where do you get your rolls of wire?
had them for years, any craft shop should sell similar 😊
@@RedRockingBird most of the places I’ve seen online show pictures of the roll but they send cuttings 😆 I live in the sticks so have to rely online..
Even better if you can get some free samples 👍💛
Don't they shrink after a few months?
Not at all no ❤️
Hi, am I stupid, don't the pieces you push into the clay fall out when the clay dries???
yes they really would fall out if you don't effectively 'glue' them in with a sealant/spray
Oh, ok 🤔😁
hey
Hello
is it waterproof?
Hi, air cry clay is not waterproof no, if you glaze/varnish/finish it then it becomes more splash proof, a spray lacquer is good, see my video on this ruclips.net/video/z0dtdQFQ-wM/видео.html
