Since Foamation which makes the cheese head foam hats went out of business, I decided to make my own cheese sombrero. I will make a silicone mold out of this sculpture. You can tell it is pretty thick. It is about 16" in diameter. I needed 10 packages. After kneading all of the clay together which took about 15 minutes, it was really easy to sculpt. It took 2 days for the clay to dry, but I am going to let it dry for a few more days before I shellac it and make the mold for the hat.

More forgiving than I expected, and harder when dried, which is great
By Miriam on December 21, 2022
I didn't have the time and money to build a model of my daughter-in-law's beloved pitbull mix and cast it in bronze for a Christmas gift. So I watched a video about working with this clay and then bought some. I really thought the results would of necessity come out a bit grade-school and paper-mache-like. Instead, it was relatively easy to work (though I had to get things done in a pretty snappy time frame) and I was able to sand down the dry clay to get a nice finish once things hardened. It felt a little fragile even a week later, but 3 weeks later, it seems quite durable. Happy with the results!

Tips:
1. Cracking...so you can't really prevent it. But there are east ways to fix it. For example, My process for sculpting faces is simple. I work in sections. First the nose. Then the eyebrows, cheeks, lips ect...make sure to smooth your seams with A WET PAINTBRUSH... I like to dip my brushed in water then wipe them off on a sponge.
Now, let your project dry for at least two days in a low humidy area. In that time, Your project will most likely crack or separate at the seams. At this point, you should make a very thick paste with your clay and use a paintbrush to fill in the cracks and smooth it out as if you were using caulking.
Let your project dehydrate completely before sanding, priming, painting and sealing.
2. It's important to work in sections and smooth out any imperfections while the clay is still wet with a paint brush or sponge to prevent cracking or crumbling anywhere other than the seams around the sections.
Working in sections also prevents other parts of your project becoming dry and clumpy before you can add any further details. You'll understand what I mean once you work with it more.
3. To make your clay easier to work with...remove the block from the original package and place it in a zipper top bag. Now, and about a tablespoon of water. No more, and possibly less depending on how moist your clay arrives. Let the block sit with the bag sealed for at least an hour, drain any excess water then begin your project by taking pieces from the bag and reasaling it each time you go for a new piece. You will eventually find your preferred texture the more you get to know how to clay behaves.
4. Painting and sealing....I can't stress enough how dry your clay needs to be to successfully create a project that will last. Don't rush it! No matter how dry the clay seems, I can assure you that there is still moisture in there! While your Paint might go on really nicely at first, it will most likely peel off a week later or even sooner if you place it outside because the moisture in the clay began to wick it's way to the surface.
I recommend that you follow the steps above for fixing any cracks and then after two days of room temperature drying, place in your oven at 200°-250° for at least 2hours. More or less depending on how thick your project is. The point in this is to dehydrate the clay completely. Then, let cool in the oven. DO NOT TAKE IT OUT RIGHT AWAY! Wait until it's warm enough to take out then WHILE ITS STILL WARM/HOT...I REPEAT...WHILE ITS STILL WARM/HOT... spray/brush on a good sealing primer. Making sure to get in all the crevices! This will prevent the clay from absorbing any moisture out of the air. Trust me. Any bit of moisture will ruin your paint job in the long run. Add two to three coats of primer before painting.
5. Sealing...seal small projects with deco art glaze and bigger outdoor project such as pots with Rust-Oleum crystal clear enamel.
Hope this helps!

Used to make a 45cm high medieval door, handle & hinges, pentagram finished in gold leaf, surrounding stonework, stone step & knight's templar shield. Used various weathering techniques and finished off with a lacquer spray. Finished work is now standing proudly with a bronze Knight Templar above my staircase.Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 24, 2019
Enjoyed working with this clay as an amature modeller. Found that it was easier to work with if left to dry slightly to give it some firmness which allowed for slicing without the clay dragging on the knife which could cause some distortion issues.
Will buy again for same type of modelling.

parece uma espécie de barro que seca sem precisar ir ao forno, muito bom, dá pra trabalhar devagar e o tempo de secagem é rápido, quando exposto ao sol. apesar de ter comprado achando que era uma polymer Clay (não sei se tem a mesma textura, mas pelos vídeos que eu assisti as clays parecem bastante com biscuit, e essa parece mais um "chiclete" por assim dizer), deu pra trabalhar mesmo assim e o resultado foi excelente, levando em conta que essa foi minha primeira vez fazendo uma escultura. diria que essa massa é ótima para iniciantes, segue algumas fotos da escultura seca e lixada.
