Any clear nail polish will do but I personally use the the spray paint.

[@shallayu1111]

Thanks for this! I’ve been looking for a nice surface to work on because the clay sticks to my cutting board and I have a hard time smoothing it out. I’ll try using a cake board!

[@clayandpastel]

You can also use your cutting board,just add a little bit of oil to lessen sticking or you can use any plastic surface, just make sure to clean the surface before start claying! 😊

One question: can we attach a soft (not dried) clay into a dried clay? For example you got the body ready dried and all but then you wanna add some more details (eg. shirt buttons) so you mould another to add.

[@tonydelossantos5645]

Hi, goodpm.can this be use in figurines for aquarium?

[@yeet7043]

Nope

[@reckless-gem]

Question:
You said to seal the clay after it has dried because it’s not waterproof. So ultimately could I make a coaster and it would absorb the condensation from the glass and not ruin the coaster?

[@clayandpastel]

The sealer I use is water resistant but not waterproof. But there is some sealer or gloss that are waterproof, maybe you can find it on some hardware stores near you.

[@kalopori3114]

can i use this type of clay for making small jewelery like folwer earrings?

Is the home made air dry clay (with glue corn starch and)ok to use????have you used it?

[@clayandpastel]

I haven't try making home made air dry clay, what I use po is hulma clay.
But its okay also to use home made clay :) I think you might wanna try to make a small charm first using your home made clay then once it dries and you see the result if its good for you, then its good to go.

[@aprilgm6046]

Hi! Can i use any type of clay for example the clay that kids play like playdoh?

[@clayandpastel]

It depends on where you gonna use it, if for souvenirs you need to use clays that can last longer once you do made your clay project

[@Leem._.00]

Hi when I use acrylic paint can I use an acrylic satin varnish?

[@clayandpastel]

Yes but, let the paint dry first before glazing

[@swortinger]

How long does the storage last in the air tight bag packaging that you show? a few months? a year? forever?

[@clayandpastel]

It also depends on how well you store it after used and also the area where you store it.

Corfial greetings. I have been a follower of the channel for some time. I would like to know how to prepare that product. Dispense my English but I am Latin. Thank you.

[@clayandpastel]

Hi 🙂 Thank you so much for continue supporting my channel ❤️ May I know which product are you referring to?

[@yles6507]

Hello, I've been using nail polish specially for the glossy glittery look if a client requested, though if not, then I prefer to use matte acrylic sealers because I really like the 'matte-satin clay vibe' finish than the 'glossy factory plastic-like finish'.
I wonder what do you use for sealing your clays other than the bosny clear spray paint? I saw your souvenir video and it doesn't look too shiny and glossy in the video.
I made a pendant charm for my friend but the acrylic sealer still is not enough to 'water-resist' the charm (I think my friend is a lot sweaty naturally) and I told him it's water resistant but not waterproof and I really prefer the matte-satin finish and he also like the matte finish. Sadly after hours of wearing it, he showed it to me and it is literally 'melting' for the lack of better adjective and the clay turns back to being soft and sticky. I'm still confused though because I tried using the clay earrings that I made and sealed with the same sealer and it stays nice and not 'melting' so I do not really know if it's the 'sweat factor' that counts.

[@clayandpastel]

Hi :)
I use hulma gloss for my souvenirs and I think yes because sweat has acid and personally if I make earings I make sure that some the parts of the earings won't touch the neck or our skin beacuse yes it's not waterproof.

Hope u can reply :(

[@clayandpastel]

Hi, you can use both ☺ and if you decided to go for air dry clay just remember to let the clay dry fully before attaching it on the popsocket to avoid rust (if your using a metallic surface) but if the popsocket surface is plastic, it's all fine :)
