DAS White 1 kg Air Drying Modelling Clay

Used this for a few projects and it’s really nice to handle—not too sticky or crumbly. Smooths out easily and holds shape well. Dries solid without cracking if you take your time. Great for crafts, whether you’re a beginner or just doing bits at home.

Works like magic... I bought this after some clay projects of mine using a different clay crumbled and cracked. The pieces I build are all highly detailed and prone to breakage so require a good clay. I bought this in the hopes of rebuilding them and smoothing the cracks... It was certainly worth it, it dried very quickly, is strong, and has saved multiple projects, they went from crumbling messes to strong sculptures that are now ready to paint within a matter of hours plus the new models I have built from it have not cracked at all. It's a little denser and harder to mold than your average air dry clay and I don't know what it's made of, it's not quite so easy to work with, though still soft enough to be malleable it requires a little patience, but whatever this formula is - it's another breed of clay entirely!!! One benefit over other clays is that once it is dry you can file, sand and drill it. You can also wet it again and smooth over with your finger to get a smooth surface. I found painting on a watered down layer of PVA helped to seal the surface, so it would take paint a lot better. It does take a while to dry if you make thicker objects. Around 24h per CM of thickness according to some hobby sites and I'd say that was correct. Thicker projects will feel spongy and smooth after 24h and 48h it'll feel fully dry and hard, but the inside will still be soft and handling too roughly will crack the outer layer as I found out the hard way. Give it longer to be safe. If you do break it, you can mend it using some watered down clay to make a slurry and use it like a glue. Adding more clay after it has dried can also be done using the slurry, or just wetting the surface until it becomes sticky, then new clay will stick to it. Very happy with this Clay

Highly recommend this brand, great trying time doesn't dry out too quick when making projects either. Easily manipulate and bonds well. Can apply acrylic paints and uv resin to harden the clay and give a glazed finish too .

This clay is not what i was expecting, but worked quite well in the end. There is no indication as to what the product is on the packaging and after searching online its still not perfectly clear. I was expecting some sort of strong smelling plastic based clay after reading some of the reviews, but its actually paper based and has no strong smell to it in my opinion. The price initially seemed great, but when you consider its mostly mushed paper, its not quite as good value as i first thought. The clay is quite hard to shape as the paper base seems to have some squishiness to it and it doesn't handle the same as a real clay would. Saying that, it is possible to create some fairly detailed sculptures with some time and patience. Adding more water helps to keep it pliable and helps with finer details.

I did read that using a fan or heat to speed up drying will cause cracks, but this wasn't the case for me in my testing with a few pieces. I put them behind my computers exhaust fan, which blows out warm air. The pieces dried faster and I didn't get any cracking. This was great for adding extra details after and being able to then sand them etc. Overall its an interesting medium that would be ideal for kids to play with and make some cool projects. Its a lot cheaper and easier than real clay as it doesn't need to be fired in a kiln, but being paper it means you can't use it for anything that would encounter moisture, which limits its uses somewhat. The long drying times could also be a major downside for some. I think the polymer clays could be a happy medium, but they're also a lot more expensive than this clay.

Great clay I used with my son he loved it easy to work with and it's not to sticky it drys overnight and you can paint it

Discovered this product during the joys of lockdown and have been buying it ever since. It’s brilliant stuff for a crafter, as easy to use & shape as plasticine but quickly dries to a hard, durable finish without the need for heating. Sam x

Good quality, and cheapest price i could find!

Precies zoals ik het me herinner van vroeger. Lekker lopen kliederen. Veel plezier van gehad!

My first time working with clay and it was a success. I used it to make Christmas decorations and they came out so good. Easy to work with, didn't smell too strongly and projects dried relatively quick. I finished the package and was able to reuse it 4 separate times within 2 weeks without it drying out.

Love it. It's a soft clay so easy to work with and comes out of the oven great no issues yet

I absolutely loved using the DAS Air-Hardening Modeling Clay, 2.2 Lb. Block! It was soft and easy to work with right out of the package, making sculpting really enjoyable even as a beginner. The clay held details well, dried evenly without needing a kiln, and had a nice smooth finish once hardened. I also appreciated that it didn’t crack easily as long as it dried slowly. The large block gives you plenty to work with for multiple projects. Overall, such a fun and reliable clay for crafting, sculpting, or trying out new creative hobbies — definitely a 5/5 for me!
