I was really questioning the difference between air dry clay and the typical clay you would use since both dry up when being left out, until you said kiln and I quickly remembered that normal clay needs to be fired
@eddie-rooАй бұрын
Yeah, normal clay does dry and harden with air, but it takes extremely long to do so. Also, I think if you air dry regular clay there might be some structural issues, but I’m not sure about that.
@tatumverbatim122922 күн бұрын
@@eddie-rooif the clay is just left out to harden and never fired in the kiln, it will indeed be much more fragile than any air dry clay or fired ceramic pieces. but fully drying out clay pieces before firing them in the kiln does no harm, it actually reduces the risk of them exploding in the kiln, the more you know!

I like Das for very bulky, simple projects - anything that takes any amount of detail or finesse will just... ultimately fail, in my experience 😂 My favorite use for Das, as a prop master, is to make things that aren't clay look like clay - almost like paper-mache. So if I need a clay mask or a clay pot, instead of having an actual clay object that can break when an actor bumps into it, I will use a cheap plastic object & just cover it with a layer of Das 😉

Amaco is pottery clay!!! They market the same type of clay as air dry!! What they don't mention is how brittle it is if you do let it dry out as if it were air dry. Amaco needs to be fired to be used in any successful clay project
@DH-gq7bm5 ай бұрын
That's what I was going to say. They just advertise it as air dry since most people don't have kilns. Though it is definitely lower quality clay

I hate Das so much. I tried to make dolls out of it and it just doesn't work. It sticks sk bad even to itself and when it's finslly dry it's so fragile. And it breaks usually on the spot where it's connecting to the other piece of clay. LaDoll is still the best. It ranges from super light to heavy and all of them are pretty sturdy. Jovi is good too. Here we also have a thing called keraplast it's really good too, but it's heavy.
