500g Grey Foam Clay

I bought this white foam clay specifically because I wanted to turn a plain plastic pumpkin into an old-fashioned, vintage-style Halloween pumpkin, and I had such a good time working with it. This was definitely a time-consuming project because I added and shaped all of the facial details by hand, but the clay was very easy to mold, smooth, press, and build up where I needed more dimension. I was able to create the large eyes, eyebrows, nose, cheeks, and big vintage-style grin exactly the way I had pictured them. Once everything dried, I painted the entire pumpkin, and I was honestly so happy with the finished result. The clay gave me enough flexibility to really sculpt the personality into the face instead of just decorating the surface of the pumpkin. This would be wonderful for Halloween props, cosplay pieces, ornaments, sculptures, school projects, and all kinds of DIY crafts. If you enjoy making things by hand and don’t mind spending a little time on the details, this clay gives you so many creative possibilities. My pumpkin took some patience, but it was absolutely worth it. I had so much fun making it, and now I’m already thinking about what I want to sculpt next! 🎃🧡

This was my first experience with foam clay. I love how lightweight it was on the finished item. While making a number of trim pieces and embellishments for a single item, the weight (and balance) of the finished item were a concern. No worries though - those elements barely added any weight at all. I bought & opened this package in December. I didn't open again for several months, and finally pitched it after spotting faint mold discolorations yesterday (in the final days of May). That's an incredible opened-pkg "shelf life" compared to homemade cold porcelain. My only "complaint" is that detailing and edges produced (from the individual molds) are the tiniest bit softer than homemade or commercial air-dry clays. And that attribute just lent a gentle "weathered" quality to my molded elements, which were simply perfect on the finished product. Had I not seen the same embellishments made from other air-dry clays, I wouldn't likely have even noticed this subtle difference. And speaking of differences: The final finished clay work is like tough, rubberized foam. Sealing the piece provided additional reinforcement. While it's nothing you'll be cutting diamonds with, the foam clay was a great option to embellish a hand-made, customized gift. Bonus: If the recipient drops the finished item, or even drops something on it that makes contact with this finished, dried foam clay, the chance of breakage or cracking of the embellishments is virtually zero. I'm very happy with this product's performance and won't hesitate to buy it again for similar applications.

Everything thing I learned about foam clay said it was super sticky. I didn't have that issue with this stuff at all. It stuck well where I put it, but it didn't become a problem on my hands. I actually put off using it for a while cause I wasn't prepared for a mess, but this cleans up very easily.

If you are deciding whether this clay might be useful, buy the smaller size. I bought the 1.1 lb size, and I don't know if I will ever use it all. Pros: light, soft, fun to play with, has about an hour of work time before it starts to harden too much to manipulate. Would be fun for kids. Air dries after about 48 hours. Cons: a bit too soft, and the sculpted object will not hold its shape until about after an hour, so it's difficult to support a piece in that time if it has vertical elements. It also sort of squishes down if it has any substantial weight to it. When fully hardened, after about 48 hours, it is too fragile for many projects. I've seen images of flowers with thin petals made with this, and I would not recommend using this clay for that kind of sculpture because the thinner it is, the more likely it will break. While it's advertised as being for use in making "cosplay" , it breaks very easily, so I don't think it would be good for things like ears, or anything that could stick out and be liable to bang on a doorway or another cosplayer. It might be useful for chunkier cosplay parts, but I wouldn't use it for very large items, like masks, or ornate armor pieces because it would be tremendously disappointing to spend hours making something only for it to break if you accidentally knock it off a table. You can see from the video how easy it is to break, also, it's easy to leave marks on the fully cured item. Final rating: While it appears to have more cons than pros, this is in reference to my intention of being able to build cosplay pieces, which I don't think this clay is really suited for, except for specific circumstances, I gave it four stars, because I can see it being fun for kids to play with. It's easy to use, doesn't require baking, and it's fun to squish around in your hands because of its soft texture.

This stuff is the best. Easy to mold and craft with to produce costume props and components. You can mix colors together, or paint with a decent primer. Hell, you can even mix other substances into it to change the final consistency. However, there are a few warnings I must give for using this! First, store DRY after mixing with a small amount of water. It can grow moldy. Second, when dried, it has less durability and more rigidity than EVA foam. It will dent if you hit something, it is NOT flexible, use Cosclay if you need flexibility and high durability. Third, it’s very heavy wet compared to dry, which you have to account for when molding it. Fourth, you need a good primer or else any paint will crack or chip, and you should only paint when dry and mostly set. Fifth, if you get any color besides white, the color can leech into the water used to mix in.

Good clay product very easy to mold. Feels a little bit like butter slime, but keeps it position really well.

Awesome cosplay foam clay!! taking it out of the package, it feels a bit like silly putty. i recommend kneading it very well (stretching it out and folding it on itself several times, until it's warmed up) I didn't do too good a job of flattening it, but it can do so very well - I was just in a hurry. It sands VERY well! I used a dremel, though regular sandpaper works as well - just takes a while to sand. It's important to note that it doesn't stay up on its own, this stuff works best when putting it on a base. I used upholstery foam. It doesn't stick too well before it dries, so I used a tiny bit of hot glue here and there to keep it in place. Once it dries it sticks perfect! Spray paint also works very well on it! I didn't even get through the entire package, i still have about 1/3 of it left for this giant cosplay skull i did. HIGHLY recommend this stuff. Important to note; this stuff takes a while to dry fully! I'd give it 3 full days before working on sanding or painting it. The thinner it is, the quicker it dries, though.

Okay, so a couple things to address. I'm reviewing the bulk (3.3lb) gray foam clay, while also comparing it to the small tub of white foam clay I got previously, so it's not coming from pure opinion. These products turned out to be very different, the bulk gray left lacking as a result. Pros: the gray starts out like a proper foam clay. Consistent texture and color, flexible, able to use on multiple surfaces. Sticky, but it eventually took detail well. Cons: it deflated. A lot. Like a flattened piece of roadkill, this clay evaporated all its water and there was very little foam in there to keep it at the original shape it was formed into. It took days to dry, and the end results were a flat loss of texture to a once beautiful, intricate design. The bulk gray foam clay has far more water in it than the tub of white I initially ordered. Meaning when charging by the pound, the pounds are more water than clay when buying the bulk version. And after putting in the work on my design and seeing the deflated results, I feel really disenchantment not only with the product, but with the brand overall. This has pushed me to look elsewhere, and I've already found a better priced, less watery foam clay (less watery on their small batches and their bulk), which I will be ordering from now on. I'm not here to advertise the product I found or trash this one, just to point out that there is more than enough competition where if a customer feels ripped off, they're not going to stick around for it to happen again.

el producto llego en excelente tiempo y es de mucha utilidad

Fast delivery, good amount and quality.Depending on thickness it takes 24-36 hours to fully dry.It expends when it dries and shinks when fully hardened so most small details erase.However, sculpting details at half dried stage solve most of that.You can also sand it when it is fully dried.Very lightweight but sturdy and flexible if slim.Absorbs paint well, but be delicate if doing many layer, it can smudge!Perfect for costume making or trinkets crafters, as myself.It is my second buy!

Best product to work on detail

I loved this product, and I am happy that I found this. I have been using regular clay to make crafts and they’re heavy and crack at times. But this is light weight and easy to deal with. Does not have any smell as well. I wanted to create some intricate Tanjore style craft and this helped! Came out well.

this is the second bag I buy, the first time I bought it, I got the black one, it was really humid and sticky to my fingers, I had to play with it a bit to remove air bubbles and make it less sticky, I was happy with the product, I could leave it a bit on the side while I would be working on my mask and it would still be ok, this second bag I bought is the gray one, it's less humid and sticky, I thought there was a hole, but I didn't see any holes in the package, so I have less time to work with it than the other one, but it's still usable, it's why I leave 4 stars, it's not exactly the same but still very similar, and I can work around it if I add a bit of water. All in all, great product, if you use it for a big piece, either do layers so the material can dry or leave it for an extended period of time, if it's for smaller pieces, it can have great details, yes it expends a bit and doing so removes some details, but you can prevent it if you plan on adding a thin layer on top of first I use it for shaping mask made of EVA and it's great and after 3 years I used all of my 1.5 k
