LoreCraft Tutorial 2 - Crack repairing Air Dry Clay - Night King

[@colinshield2769]

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

[@thinker9115]

Many thanks, this was exactly the information I needed. I'd been covering my clay piece with wet cloths (and a bag over the top) but with no mister, I need to get one. Cracks did appear, so more work needed. I was wondering if this would end up in a cycle of filling and shrinking but hopefully this won't be the case. I've gone down the air dry route so will be looking for the best varnish or coating to make the piece durable. I guess you've covered that so will take a look around. Thanks again, glad to find your channel!

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

[@xitement7504]

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

[@90kuky]

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

[@melaniepacheco4212]

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

[@shannonamell7102]

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.

[@thelovewaybatgirl]

This helped me. Thank you!

[@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!

[@annahitarad6740]

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

[@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.

[@CoxJoxSox]

Great demo- great piece - I love thee crackle

[@LulJey]

You deserve 1 mil subs bro

[@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!

Thank you very helpful

[@wolfman75]

Thank You Sir For The Info!!!👍😎

[@sculpturesbyC.D.]

Very good. Thanks for your video.

[@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.

[@kingpanguan]

Thank you so so much

[@ajwellsshares]

Wow 🔥

[@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?

[@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.

[@TheSlgrus05]

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

[@LoreCraft2ndchannel]

ah, just saw this. Well... you can progressively add it during the drying process, but the best bet is to let it crack all it's going to, then fix the cracks, because the fixed cracks will likely crack more after they dry too. You may have to repeat the process once or twice before it finally stops.

[@hellothere1522]

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

[@AndersonAdoN]

Amazing

[@siakouts7965]

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

[@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.

[@kelly3572]

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

[@lesleywarner499]

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

[@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

[@J.D.Vision]

This dude looks like John Krasinski 😯

[@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

[@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.

[@hannyconner5349]

First 😄

[@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. 🙆‍♀️✌🙌

[@jdeviens]

I hate when my project cracks

[@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

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