Lots of great information for a beginner. Thanks.

You gave very important information? Thank you!

[@suseeharkins]

BRAVO my Deary! You addressed a myriad of issues that I've experienced as I use clay, resin & even caulk for dimensional pieces that don't include paper. It was well presented and tho our products are different as our 'Ponds' are different 😜 I understand, enjoyed this thoroughly!! ❤ Thank You!

[@KatySueDesigns]

Awww thanks so much for the lovely message. So happy you enjoyed watching ☺

Wow! I think you covered EVERY question i had before jumping into using air dry clay! Thank you so much for all your knowledge!

[@KatySueDesigns]

You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful ☺

[@tracyjones1344]

Really loved this info. Now, after you get clay out of mold and have glued it to, let’s say an ornament, how long do you have to wait to paint it. Will the clay shrink ? How long before you varnish it?

Bought some air dry clay last year but still haven't used it! This video will help with ideas and questions that i have. Clear instructions. Will share this site with my great-niece who loves to do clay modeling.

Heather, your very lovely and calming demeanor kept me glued until the very end. You were very thorough and covered all my questions about air dry clay. Thank you for your very clear instruction. I do have one question - will all your tips and molds work with the Crayola brand air dry clay?

[@mino5670]

Thank you ; it's a very good video. 😍👌

[@KatySueDesigns]

Thank you so much ☺

[@sandeeconn4671]

Such great tips, thank you! The gilding waxes...which brand are you using please?

[@KatySueDesigns]

I think this was a brand called Gedeo but any gilding wax should work great.

[@agiagata945]

I personally prefer to use acrylic sealant (bought in hardware shop for windos etc) - not silicone sealant, which is flexible, not breaking, not shrinking, paintable with all paints, and is cheap

[@cherylthompson9438]

Does anyone know if Hearty Clay can be glued to a "treated" white painting canvas made for watercolor or acrylic paint? The canvas has been stapled to a wood frame. It is sold at the local craft store here. And if it can, what would I use to attach the clay to the canvas? Thank you!!!

[@KatySueDesigns]

Yes, you should be able to stick hearty clay to a painted surface. Heather has done so in the past. Any PVA based glue, or thick/heavy acrylic medium will work to adhere the clay.

[@cherylthompson9438]

@@KatySueDesigns Thank you!

[@cherylthompson9438]

Around the 37 min area talking about glue, what does she mean about thin, thick, and gel glues? Are these three different products that you buy? Can she give any examples of brands to use? Air Dry Clay is brand new to me. Thank you!

[@KatySueDesigns]

Hi, some lower price PVA glues will be thinner so not as strong. You should look for a PVA made for crafts. Something like this Anita's Tacky Glue would work for most situations katysuedesigns.com/products/anitas-tacky-glue-60ml

[@cherylthompson9438]

Thank you!!

[@BettyMullins]

I think I would just paint after clay is dry....and not be bothered with changing color of clay before it is dry.

[@cherylthompson9438]

Will somebody please tell me what product she said at 43:26, right as the red bow appeared? The audio quality dropped off and cannot make out what she said. Thank you!!!

[@KatySueDesigns]

Hi, acrylic paint is the product mentioned at this part of the video.

[@sislertx]

U need a airsealer machine.

[@99shoebox]

The constant references to your own products is, unfortunately, slightly annoying. Obviously, make everyone aware that these products are available, but there is no need to constantly refer to them ALL the way through the video. Thank you.

[@sislertx]

White fat...wth is that..grease? Why powder on one and grease on the other? Would Vaseline be just as good as lip balm? Never seen so much lip balm in one place as u have...

[@KatySueDesigns]

It's white vegetable fat like the brand Trex sells. It helps release clay from moulds that are extra detailed. However, most of the moulds will be fine with cornflour.
