For Practicing, I recommend you guys invest in some oil based clays, like Monsterclay. If you do, remember to wash your tools before moving back and forth to airdrying water based clays. Remember, oil based clay is non drying, reusable, and cannot be painted. It is not for making permanent models.

Thank you, I am a beginner, would love to see more simple stuff to sculpt step by step. I watched one video that said to cover with a plastic bag to keep it from cracking. She said it allows the clay to dry at the same time. I have not tried it yet. Not sure if you do that or not. :) Thanks for the help!

[@oldliempje1469]

I just saw that video too! My guy cracked his skull and I keep on wetting it and trying to fix it but the crack comes back no matter what I do, if you still do clay, do you know how to fix my problem?

[@funnyfarm6623]

Definitely cover it with a plastic bag. And let it dry even a week or two. You can make slip to fix the cracks. Vinegar water clay. Too much water will wet your clay and make cracks!

[@spirit006theassassin]

Yeah, the covering really helps.

[@anniecarroll8010]

Thank you so much, I have been looking for this. The product you used looks easy to use and you gave the name of it. I made a complete Nativity set years ago and one of the camels is damaged. Hope this works.

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

Hope so too!

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

Hope so too!

[@90kuky]

Duuuude your biceps is bigger than Night king :P Oh and as always nice job.

[@hellothere1522]

PLEASE do skin texturing and advanced/unknown skin texturing techniques, :)

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Made a statue and it has newspaper and masking tape in the middle ,would ot b bad if I put it in the kiln? Of course without the paper/tape exposed

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

I've never fired anything - that's ceramic expertise, which I don't have. I've worked with clay that can be fired, but I've never actually fired anything. I wish I could be of more help on that subject.

[@mysteryman4936]

My only solution is to try my best to finish my sculpture, take pictures and within a week or two my sculpts are falling apart lol.

[@hanisscosplay]

this really helped me fixing cracks on my mold for latex cast, thank you!

[@TheSlgrus05]

Do I have to wait until my clay fully drys to repair the cracks?

[@melaniepacheco4212]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It really helped me with my sculpting project

[@fjumehara]

I don’t know.. those biceps tho. Where’s the workout videos?

[@LoreCraft]

Before I did sculpting I was actually pretty serious about fitness and did an amateur bodybuilding contest. I seriously considered doing videos on that stuff before I ever started working the clay. Problem was I had and still do not have someone to help film that sort of content. Going into the gym with a tripod and shooting myself while I'm doing various exercises and talking to the camera seemed a bit over the top. I COULD do some training and diet vids someday, and maybe I'd put them up here, definitely not on the main channel though. This channel is for you fellas that are interested in more discussion and some fun stuff, so it could work here. Thank you for the ego boost, btw!

[@fjumehara]

@@LoreCraft Keep up the good work you do

[@JD.727]

What timely proof that a person can spend this much time in the gym and still come out with a winning personality and sense of creative ambition. I listened to my ex talk about cutting, bulking, whey... dude wasn't the least bit curious about my sculpting. Buff as fuck but couldn't win a thumb war to save his life. He had boring weak hands. Fitness doesn't need to be an all consuming lifestyle. Self improvement must be holistic or what's the point? Strength in sculpting is a major advantage - wedging, throwing, holding heavy machinery for long periods to carve. They're like pb&j. Goodlife, get a craft corner. Bros need to get elevated. I don't know what the point of my tangent is, but if you made workout vids for sculptors, I'd be one fit disciple. 🙆‍♀️✌🙌

[@annahitarad6740]

thank you this is so helpful and I love the way you described everything so simply! 😻😻

[@jdeviens]

I hate when my project cracks

[@vickia1042]

I just started playing with the air dry clay and was wanting to know, can you waterproof the sculptures? If so ,how? Thank you! Thank you for this video!

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

hey! Sorry for late reply. Don't check this channel as often, but I try to answer when I can. Yes you can "sort of" waterproof them. Various different ways. When it's dry it does accept acyrlic paints, sprays, etc, as well as clear coat resins. Creating a barrier with something that's not water soluable or won't wash away easily will pretty much do the trick. You still couldn't submerge them or anything but I've had several of mine outside in a covered garage with good circulation of outside air, and where I live is pretty damn, and they're all fine out there.

[@kelly3572]

The night king isn't affected by fire.... Foreshadowing 😜

[@Brandywine6969]

P.S. You faithfully recreated the Night King. Sorry I forgot to mention how great he looks in the other post. Subscribed to watch more of your work. Awesome job.

[@wolfman75]

Thank You Sir For The Info!!!👍😎

[@hannyconner5349]

First 😄

[@jaredwadley6214]

Your sculptures are amazing. Are you still making tutorials? I stumbled upon your channel looking for tips. I started messing around with clay a year ago and sorta gave up due to cracking.

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

really appreciate you saying that. I'd planned to do a paid tutorial series, as they take a lot of work to make, and I was getting like... 5$ of views from making them, which isn't tenable, even as much as I like to make them. I will still do them at some point, but the only way I've been able to fund the continued sculpting is doing the timelapses and sales on my main channel.

[@LulJey]

You deserve 1 mil subs bro

[@siakouts7965]

So it has to be a specific material, right? You cant just use the clay you were working on from the beginning?

[@Brandywine6969]

Thank you for this. I am working on an incense burner and using air cry clay for the first time. I also just had surgery Wednesday. I can't do too much feeling so terrible. I was afraid waiting until next weekend to work on my incense burner again would be a bad idea with the air dry clay cracking in that one area. This lets me know it is is ok to still repair the cracks in dry air dry clay.

[@batoolsworld4710]

what is the solution for the crack , can you tell me?

[@ajwellsshares]

Wow 🔥

[@colinshield2769]

Thanks for great tips/info. Love your works of art 👏👍

[@lmnopopsicle]

im too afraid to try air dry but polymer clay is not conducive to LARGE pieces or busts, i think. im always out of foil. and clay. :l

[@CoxJoxSox]

Great demo- great piece - I love thee crackle

[@zam7081]

Do you have an instagram account ? Your'e amzaing btw !

[@xitement7504]

Thank you for the tutorial, you are very pleasing to listen to, calm and thorough.

[@heatherforster8434]

Thank you so very much! Your tutorials are extremely helpful! I wish you all the best with your endeavors! Looking forward to more tutorials!

[@lesleywarner499]

I’ve found the clay on Amazon.co.uk your work is amazing!

[@J.D.Vision]

This dude looks like John Krasinski 😯

[@thelovewaybatgirl]

This helped me. Thank you!

[@julieamber3311]

Thank you very helpful

[@sculpturesbyC.D.]

Very good. Thanks for your video.

[@candoll2583]

hahahaaha you look like jon snow bruh

[@kingpanguan]

Thank you so so much

[@AndersonAdoN]

Amazing

[@erinhallmakes777]

What about if something broke right off?

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

you can glue it! :D or you can drill a small hole in the broken piece and the base and insert a trimmed to size toothpick as an anchor and fill in the crack.

[@erinhallmakes777]

@@LoreCraft2ndchannel what type of glue do you recommend

[@anilpacheco3609]

How long does it take to dry?

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

it varies on thickness and if you're force drying it. If I put it out in front of my fan oven with the door open at a low heat, it could dry within a day (you need to keep turning it). Without a warm fan, could take several days.

[@anilpacheco3609]

Thanks for the reply. I have the crayola air dry clay and it’s a 25 lbs ball. It hasn’t dried in 3 weeks lol
