Does clay air dry or how does it hardenm?

I am not really sure since I gave it as a gift. The ones that they showed me were dry and they took the dome cover off

The clay doesn't have to harden. You form your sculpture right on the base, making sure to push it firmly onto the base. Fill your dome with water and glitter, tip the base w/sculpture upside down and put base and dome together. Ours leaked a little, so I put Krazy Glue around the bottom where dome meets base to seal it.

We used polymer air drying clay in summer school with the kids last summer. The consistency is pretty firm. You could use it in the mold, but I would be extra gentle. I don't know that it would hold up to 100's of clay projects though. The mold is so inexpensive it would be worth a try. Have fun!

Here is a little trick. Get a ziplock bag and put the clay in it and then add either the apple cider vinegar or the filtered water. Once you have it all in the bag then get the excess air out and then re seal the bag. Mash it around and since the clay is confined and cannot move around as much it makes it easier to mix. Please try it and come back and let us all know how it works for you if you get a chance. Hope this helps!

For hard clay, I'd say no. I live where we have a good mixture of soil and in my gardens there is a thick layer of black topsoil. This works well on the soil when it's moist. If I neglect it a while and it dries, the B&D; struggles.

It dries hard...It's the best all purpose glue I've ever had...and I've tried many kinds.Good luck!

Nope. It becomes hard as a cardboard when dry and not meant for drying. Just cooling off..

It doesn't really harden. It's basically like a liquid chalk substance. It's closer to paint in texture than something that hardens. It does dry extremely fast. I'd say within minutes you could touch it and it would not rub onto your hand (in the summer anyway). I used it on grass.

They are cube shaped. I would imagine that once the clay is hardened, it can be pushed out.

Yes, this does dry to more of a clear plastic consistency. Perhaps you needed a lacquer.

I found about 9% shrinkage in the clay. It will be about a 70% chance of surviving the kiln. The longer/dryer you get the clay the less it will Crack when fired. Overall it is a very good clay as far as wet clay is concerned. Crack free clay would be non sulphur based oil clay. But you don't fire it. You cast it in silicone

This glaze is amazing but it has to be applied correctly to the item and more importantly allowed to dry fully. If you're making a piece of artwork say, out of polymer clay, it is best to apply a thick layer without much fussing. In other words, apply a layer and leave it alone until it is fully dry. Then you can apply another layer if need be. I would allow a piece to dry in a cool NON humid place for at least 12 hours. If you are storing an item that has been glazed, please allow adequate airflow to the item. I have had some pieces become tacky for no reason I could comprehend, but I re-glazed the piece and it was totally fine. I don't see an issue with hot climates if you allow the piece to dry for 12-24 hours in a dry, cool place first. If you want to avoid any possibility of tackiness at all, you can create a semi gloss glaze by adding water to the product (in a small cup) and this will reduce your chances of tackiness dramatically. As far as the glaze being heat resistant, I would say it is but please make sure it is properly cured.

Hi Kay, the powder can be stored indefinitely without refrigeration. However, if you hydrate the clay by mixing it with water or vinegar, you should refrigerate the mixture. I hope this helps! Thanks for asking!

It does harden but does not become brittle. It loses it's elasticity after a while if not covered.

It dries hard and is water resistant. It will look relatively clear after drying- if you want to mask the crack, you need to tint the resin to match your marble. If you only want to seal it, I suppose this would do fine, but keep in mind I am just an amateur DIY guy.

I used this product on a tiki bar which is outside. It's been exposed to heat and humidity and I've never noticed it softening or melting. If anything it dries out and gets crunchy.

I personally have never mailed it, but I do use it on polymer clay and it is still puffy years later and that is after watching children pick at it. In my opinion I think it would be fine as long as it is fully dried. It is pretty tough puff :)

As long as it doesnt get wet or smashed very hard. It wont be as durable as the clay. Not as hard of a material. What you finish it with would help the durability.
