1. Plasticity and Workflow
One of the main advantages of this clay is its texture. This modeling mass is extremely easy to knead, making it simple to work with even for beginners. It features excellent adhesion, allowing for the formation of fine details and smooth surfaces. If the material starts to dry during the process, simply moisten your hands with water to restore its plasticity.
2. Drying Properties and Results
This is an air-hardening sculpting material, meaning your works will harden naturally without high temperatures.
