    Hey guys, here is the link to my 1st video testing out Crayola air dry clay, Das, Creative Paper clay, Amaco & Jovi: ua-cam.com/video/4XeG4lKoB4E/v-deo.html

      Hi there,
      I am looking for advice on which kind of clay would be best for taking some paw prints from my pet?
      I have read mixed answers on whether polymer or air dry clay is best. Air dry apparently shrinks and cracks easier, whereas polymer should not do those?
      There aren't many options in my area, so I have been looking on ebay. I have found sculpey and mont marte but now have read bad things about mont marte, including this video mentioning how sticky it is.
      Should I try sculpey? Should I just stick with air dry clay?
      I'm so lost and confused about what to do..
      PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE

    Lucky me -- I don't have to look up anymore videos about air dry clay. This review is probably all I need. I don't know what your channel is about , but you got a new subscriber. I have never seen a better review of anything, than what you just did~GOOD JOB!

    Honestly was kind of hoping the Mont Marte would just shatter to a million pieces.

    I came to this video from your first one searching for comparisons of Air Dry clays. Both were so helpful and you cover so many aspects of the clays. Well done. I do wish you had tested the first other clays with the mold too as you did on this one. Do you think you could do a follow up new video putting those other clays to the mold tests? I mostly use molds so it would be very helpful. Thank you. Maybe you could do a special video with only all the mold tests, using the footage from this one and adding the other new tests. I think that would be a great video for those of us who use molds. Specially if you added the test of letting the clay dry overnight or several hours INSIDE the mold. I usually do that, i let it dry inside so that I get all the details and its easier to pull out.
    Oh and also may I ask why you do not use a wooden roller pin as I have seen other use? Does it stick more than a glass bottle?

    Because of your last video I have been using DAS, but always looking to improve, learn, and try new things. I do very small projects like candle holders and trinket dishes but there is not much out there in my style which is shabby chic so I wing it. If you every try shabby chic style I will definitely be one to watch videos. Thank you again for this wonderful comparison.

    @Skyririhigh Місяць тому +2

    I've been using mont Marte clay for 6 months now, I never faced cracking issues. But yes, it gets messy and sticks to the hand a lot, specially when I add water in it to soften it a bit. but for me, it's not an issue because it's pretty affordable in my country for small clay artists like me! I've made many clay charms and pots with this clay, and didn't face any major issues.

That is until i saw this video. Thanks again. Now to look for the right molds….ugh! ;)

  • @WCarey-nz7lx
    @WCarey-nz7lx Рік тому +6

    Hello; I do appreciate you shedding light on the viability of these clays. However one slight concern is that the shape (disk) may not be the only test shape you should use, because of energy distribution when it comes in contact with the surfaces you drop it on may be less reactive as a cylinder, or perhaps a pot shape. These shapes have different surface areas that may demonstrate the true strength of the produce. However having said that, I do think that from your videos, I may want to try out Das clay as well.

      Out of both videos the clays I always use are Das, creative, jovi, activa supreme & Sculpey air dry clay. I love them all but if I had to pick 2 I would pick activa supreme & creative paper clay. So sorry for such a late response for some reason I didn’t see your comment before. 💖😊

    I need help for craft mostly jewelry but others items for sculpting need o if between das or sculpy. Only thing differe between the too is that sculpt is a bit more ding forgiving softer to work with and das main point is that it lays flat after curing no warping which is good for jewelry.

    • @IvettDIY
      @IvettDIY  10 місяців тому

      Yes I think sculpey is a great alternative if you can’t find das. The texture is a little bit different from das’ texture but it’s still a great clay. 😊

      Sculpey is an overall really good clay for both their air dry clay & polymer clays. Das air dry clay would be good for paw prints too. They also sell dog clay paw ornament kits on amazon. I’ve used them before to make some for my dog and they came out great! 😊

    • @IvettDIY
      @IvettDIY  Рік тому +1

      The one air dry clay that I have tried that feels closest to polymer clay is the sculpey air dry clay. Its also a really good clay, just softer than polymer.
