Product Questions and Answers

Ask a Question

Could you use bone clay to make buttons?

- Asked by dian on 11-Apr-14

Answer

This product may be used to form buttons, especially for decorative or craft purposes; however, the thickness and diameter may affect the durability. If too thin and wide, the buttons may be brittle. Another option may be casting buttons using Alumilite's Quick-Set Mold Rubber Kit and Casting Resin.

What is a good clay, self-hardening or oven-hardening, that I can use to make dolls?

- Asked by Cathy on 18-Mar-13

Answer

The Boneware Self-Hardening Clay is great for sculpting and would work for your project. Also, the Living Doll Modeling Compound by Sculpey would be great for doll-making. This is an oven bake clay and is available in 3 skin tones: light, beige, and brown.

I use this clay for decorative bird sculpture and it is amazing. It definitely dries rock hard, and has a smooth consistency not like a lot of other air dry clays that have a good deal of "grit" in them. It holds details very, very well and is easy to form and carve. Just keep it moist with wet paper towels and in a ziploc bag until done and you will be very happy.

This clay is perfect for sculpture, it's easy to handle and the delivery of the clay was fast and easy to order. I will definitely order clay from you again because the process was easy.

I teach kids ages 6-14, & all were able to easily work with this clay to make some great projects from candle holders with star & moon cut-outs to draped pieces in the shape of fish & leaves!
