    Honestly, your video just popped up on my feed - I don’t know if my phone is listening, but I was actually about to buy clay to sculpt strawberries.
    Well, your vid popped up, and as I already decided what clay to use I clicked on it with zero expectations. BUT WTH, this is so good!! Not only is this clay amazing, it’s the way you just answered every single question I would’ve had during the video. I’ll use YOUR clay now; thank you YT for showing me this super cool video!

      Probably grab a can of spray sealant, like acrylic coating that makes things waterproof. Or even the spray you can spray on shoes to make them water proof. That would be my guess. I know this comment is super old, but if you were still wondering lol

  • @nekrataali
    @nekrataali 2 роки тому +2

    Can the mixture be placed in the oven? Or does that cause it to crack/warp? One thing I like about Das air dry is you can put it in an oven on low heat to make it bone dry and speed up the hardening process.

    • @SofiaBue
      @SofiaBue  2 роки тому +1

      Hi 🙂 when drying this clay in the oven it swells up in a weird way, significantly distorting the sculpted shapes (even on a very low heat). I therefor stick to air drying, which is quite fast for this DIY clay compared to some of the storebought brands.
      Personally i find that DAS risks cracking when drying in the oven, but great to hear that you have had success with it 😁

  • @whitowhite1428
    @whitowhite1428 10 місяців тому

    Hey it doesn’t catch mold after drying up right ?the sculpted stuff and please tell me I don’t need no baking oven to cook it after sculpting so it doesn’t catch mold ,I’m super concerned about that so please let me know ._.

  • @MartinBarquero95

    Hi!, thank's for the video, I'd like to know how does this clay compare to the flour recipe (2 1/2 cups flour,1 cup salt,1 cup water) and to cornstarch and baking soda (1 cup cornstarch, 2 cups baking soda, e1 1/2 cups cold water), I'm looking for a easy access clay to make a t-rex skull as DAS is not widely available in my country,

  • @tomassoejakto
    @tomassoejakto 2 роки тому

    Though I'm an illustrator and love doing crafts, I've never sculpted before. I just bought a pack of Das clay yesterday to build a new seat for my offroad remote control car. Now I'm thinking, there's plenty leftover so why don't I use it to try and make replacements for the tacky and cracking rubber parts around my camera? I know it's a bad idea to do precision work on a sensitive piece of electronics using a material I'm not even familiar with, but I can hardly resist the challenge.

      No smell once dry 😊 smells like the pva glue when soft. The vinegar smell isnt noticable. It smells quite nice if substituting the vinegar with lemon juice.
