    This might be one of the Best tutorial I've seen for diy air dry clay. You gave clear instructions and even told us how many days it takes for the clay to fully cure. I really liked how you compared both the cook and non-cook method with their pros and cons. You deserve more subs, there's no way you're this underrated!

    • @ronans.2340
      @ronans.2340 Год назад

      Also, can you reduce the time or curing by using a hair dryer or some sort? I'm making a sculpture for my gf's project which is due on Tuesday. I'm planning on making the sculpture a bit big so i kinda worry it wouldn't cure on the day of submission.

    • @zainclayarts
      @zainclayarts  Год назад

      if its possible for you to use aluminum foil or paper as a base and just use clay on the surface of your sculpture that could help reduce the time it takes to cure.
      putting my works in front of an electric fan helps it cure faster. using hair dryer sounds possible but not sure how well that works so i suggest you try that with a small amount of clay first.

    • @ashleewhite7775
      @ashleewhite7775 8 месяцев назад +17

      Both will shrink. That's what happens with air dry clay, because during the drying process the liquid evaporates.

    • @beano6935
      @beano6935 5 месяцев назад +8

      You’ll have to learn to approximate how much shrinkage your pieces experience and make them appropriately larger in size in order to get the size you want after they’ve dried completely :)

    Hello, thank you very much for the awesome tutorial. I tried your recipe and even though it didn't pass the raindrop test, it dried really strong and could easily remedy the cracks and what not. My second batch became too soft and I made blocks of them at first, then made sculptures via carving. But I have a problem with molds during the rainy season here in the Philippines. I panicked and ended up throwing away my airdry sculptures and the few blocks I wanted to carve. How do I prevent molds from forming? Was there a way to remove the molds from the sculptures?

    • @zainclayarts
      @zainclayarts  3 года назад +3

      thank you! glad it worked well for you 😊
      as for the molds, adding white vinegar or lemon juice should help prevent them. making sure your hands and anything that comes into contact with the clay is clean will prevent that from happening too. hope this helps!
      im from ph too and never really experienced my clays getting molds even though they've been on storage for a long time. and unfortunately, you can't really save clays that already has molds. even if you remove them, they will just grow back :/

    • @zainclayarts
      @zainclayarts  3 месяца назад +1

      some use a damp cloth to cover unused clay while they work. beware of lints though since they can get stuck in the clay. but if you're having problems with the clay you're actively sculpting with, i find it better to use slightly undercooked clay (be sure it's not super soft tho) as it will give you more time to work with (consider the shrinkage) or just use a bit of water to soften the clay every now and then.

    Thank you for putting the full list of measurements for making both the white clays, onto the internet via RUclips. This video has helped me a whole lot. I really look forward to creating some wonderful things with my grandchildren using the clay.
    I have a few questions for you:-
    1) Do you suggest only creating small projects with the air dry clay..or can you do larger projects, such as vases, in air dry clay?
    2) Do you advise on adding the poster paint to the air dry clay only when I plan to use the clay immediately?
    3) Is it safe to seal the finished objects I make out of both types of clay by using a glaze only, or should I seal the object first with a spray on sealant, and then glaze it; if I wanted it to hold water for example?
    Thank you in advance for answering these questions. You are very kind!

    • @zainclayarts
      @zainclayarts  4 года назад

      Thank you so much Carly for a wonderful feedback! I'm glad you find it helpful 😊 To answer your questions,
      1. I personally use it for small projects but I believe you can use it to make larger ones! It holds pretty well especially if the piece is solid. Might take awhile to completely cure it though so might be better to work on it in stages.
      2. Yes, definitely. unless you can secure it in a completely airtight container which may allow you to store it for a long time. It will harden quite fast after it's mixed with any paint.
      3. I haven't used this clay for any purpose involving water but I've read from other artists that air dry clay in general, no matter the type, is really not advisable to be used with anything that involves water like a pot or a vase even though it's already sealed with glaze or coated with varnish. The clay may turn soft again after awhile.

      Sorry, I'm quite not sure I get what you mean.. However if you mean that you want to use this kind of clay together with paper mache, I think white glue would work just fine since white glue is also the binding agent for this recipe. Not sure with hot glue as I haven't tried it myself. :)

    • @zainclayarts

      molds are tricky and no one really knows what causes it since several factors come into play like humidity, weather conditions, how it's stored and more. it rlly varies since we all live differently and in diff areas. personally, i never experienced my clay getting molds and i use water a lot while sculpting. the vinegar i use for my diy clay helps prevent it too. most ppl suggests using distilled but i just use tap water with no problems.

    Hi, just a quick question. Thank you for the brilliant tutorial, but, I have been making a polymer air dry "picture" which will be attached to slate.
    I did not add colour as I made it, as I wanted to be able to paint shades, making it "pop" out.... is this ok to do? I have a varnish made for polymer to complete it.
    Should I continue, or start again with mixing the colours to clay before shaping it? Thanks

      thank you Rachel! glad you appreciate it 💖 i don't really recommend using air dry clay for plant pots or anything with moisture since it's possible that the clay might soften even if it's sealed. however, you can use it as an outer layer or for decoration for like a plastic pot for example.
      to answer your question though, yes it can dry flat but it depends on the way you let it cure. make sure to flip it several times to let all areas get exposed to air while it's drying.

Flip the piece from time to time to prevent it from curving. If the piece is rounded, you may hang it or stick it to a stand if possible to keep its shape. :)

      that depends on how dry your overcooked clay is. if you're unsure, there's really no harm in mixing a lot of undercooked clay with it. your clay will just be softer and you can just air dry it a little to get the right consistency.

      hm im not sure but if the amount of oil and vinegar is too much, there's a chance that the clay won't hold the shape. it may turn out to be too watery/melty.

    I wanted to ask that will it catch fungus, or attract insects or get moldy and smelly. Loved the recipe!!!!!

    • @zainclayarts
      @zainclayarts  Год назад

      vinegar should help prevent molds. if you dont like the smell of it you can use lemon juice instead. so far i haven't had any experiences with it getting moldy or attracting any insects.
