Jeff Lafferty, Thank you for the compliments! I love sculpting, especially large pieces. This dragon is 1/2 a ton, so pretty heavy. And, just for the record, it's *mostly* non-toxic. You still have to use gloves and it can be dusty.

...oh you're here Kim, Cool, this is Scot Campbell. I am the one with the art cars, with sculptures on them. Don't know if you remember me. You are a modern master! Your sculpture work is really amazing!
I like Kim. She seems exciting. Think I'll go watch her videos. Thanks for sharing her work with us, Bill. She has some absolutely beautiful sculptors (especially the dragon she was working on in this video).
Kim seems like a fantastic person and a wonderful teacher. What I want to know is what kind of glue gun did she have that thing was dripping hot glue like crazy, I totally need that.
I felt so bad I didn't get to see her work more. Thanks for sharing and finding her again. and it would be fun I think to try to make a base to make a mermaid tail. So I can reuse the mold over and over.
I would have loved to have had this when we were working on our full-sized weeping angel last year! We used EVA foam and Crayola air-dry clay for the face, but this sounds like it would have been a much better option. Thanks for sharing!
This is a great video i needed this. I actually found punished props because i was interested in sculpture and statue making. I looked up videos on sculpting and molding/casting which is how i found this channel in the first place, now im making a full-on costume (childhood dream of owning a monster suit) you have opened many doors for my artwork. So,THANk YOU!
Thanks for sharing this. I use foil with polymer clay pieces, it is a great filler and light. I will check out her channel as well. Thanks for sharing!
I love how the scales are added TO the sculpture, I was so surprised when she did that step! I totally thought she was carving down to make a scale. So, I'm guessing the base later was put in with the "scrapes" so that the next layer would adhere better?
Very cool stuff! Thanks for introducing this to us. I can't really think of a big project I'd use this for but I want to try this out sometime. I'll bookmark it for later.
For cosplay or model making I would suggest using it whenever you need to simulate stone or need to get a hard and durable surface without using something like apoxie sculpt or fiberglass + resin. Examples include: simulated concrete on model buildings, and ancient stone fantasy weapons (NOT FOR STUNT USE). For 3D mixed media decorative art, I suggest using it as a substitute for thinset mortar or various plaster pastes as a coating on foam or wood armatures/sculpture bases for 3D decoupage or 3D mosaics.
I want to cry... This made me want to build a Monster Hunter Garden 😂... I'm about to spend a RIDICULOUS amount of money on foil... But soooooo worth it!
I am working on a trident for a Gladiator cosplay but normal clay is brittle and keeps breaking. I have used moldable plastic (very short working time, sticky to mold just right), but was also wondering if this might be good? I have the base made of 14guage wire and would like some real sculpting time (that hot moldable plastic doesn't have) to work with it and get just the right look. Also painting i assume is just a good primer then airbrush? Thanks again, love all your vids, really turned me on to cosplay.
It seems like it would be incredibly useful for making really durable, archivable masters for making molds of stuff you know you'll need to pull again and again, since it provides a good working time without the cumulative toxic effects that Apoxie Sculpt has. Just have to plan for the long total cure time. Given how strong it is and the fact that it was designed for large outdoor sculptures where weight isn't an issue, apart from small items (jewelry, detailing, etc.), I'm guessing that it's really too heavy to be practical for direct use in any large-scale prop work.
***** That would be super handy! I'm assuming it's water-based since it air-dries; when you're experimenting you should see if you can get the really smooth finishes that you can get with oil-based clays and a solvent. The dragon sculpture was so organic and focused on adding texture, not subtracting it. Being able to sculpt really smooth bucks would be great for those who need a really specific weird visor, etc. You should also test how well it sticks to other things of various kinds when you're experimenting. If it can work as an additive medium for small bits and bobs that would be incredibly useful.
Hi Bill and Britt, I was just thinking that this might be a great material to use as the outer shell of those mugs you want to make for your future bar. Would give them some nice heft and durability. What do you think?
Warbler? Worbler? What were they talking about that goes over the foil? I can't find it because I can not hear it, and the CC isn't accurate... Please help!
I think it might be great to make dinamic wheel cosplay bases like if you where a figurine or maibe some weel non human parts like rachbera from monster musume or a star wars spaceship would be easy to do with that stuff I wonder how light weight and resistant would a unicel foam with just a super thin layer of pantiya wold come out
Sounds like this stuff would also be really good for doing custom pieces that you can then mold. It would take quite a bit longer than 3D printing probably, but if you like the aesthetic of sculpting and dont want to lose your master after molding, could be fun, lol.
Yes, you can take a mold off of Pal Tiya. However, there are fibers in it that could hold onto your mold. A good propane torch will solve that issue quickly.
Hey Bill!! That dragon is awesome. About the Pal tiya, which are the main differences with concrete from your pov?? Thanks and keep going these videos!!
Alas, Pal Tiya is heavy because it's meant for outdoor use. You need a quarter inch so it's strong enough to stand on. Anything that goes outside usually gets stood on by kids.
Cool techniques and materials. I like to coat large EPS foam sculptures with AquaResin + SmoothOn's Free-Form air. I would be very interested in trying PalTiya to see if it has similar properties. THANK YOU very much for the video!!! :^)
Thank you. It is very interesting. I would like to know if i can sculpe with aluminium and clay and put in oven? Is it o.k.? Thank for your answer. Zipi
I have a crumbling clay pot. It needs a top coat. It is a piece I want to keep. How would I cover the piece with out It drying out? Can it be done?should I try to cover the piece with foil? I have purchased the pal tiya. Need feed back. Thank you.
I was trying to think of a way to achieve the texture for the Stonehardt skin for Reinhart costume from Overwatch. Could this be used for a thin outer layer of the the Armour?
fun video to watch as always😀 can you sand this stuff? if so maybe try making a star wars helmet or armor. would love to see a video pop up with you sculpting a darth vader helmet😮. curious as to what you can come up with😀
I used aluminum foil to pad out a head mold I took of myself using a plastic bag and tape (use air holes), I built the foil up to pad over my head mold out to the shape of the domed visor I was working on. From there I used all purpose joint compound like she used clay, to smooth over the top of it. Once hard and the shape I wanted, I took most of the foil out, replacing it with more joint compound, went a few times, let dry and filled with great stuff foam. Once that dried and I cleaned the explosion off half my living room, I used joint compound to seal the bottom and sides, making the buck so I could vacuum form my visor. imgur.com/sItO3lk Do you know of any better way to fill the inside cavity of a buck? Layers and layers of joint compound take forever to dry and make the top soft while they do. Also I am trying to keep from using all my joint compound for that. I still have a Quarian visor to do.
Kim is so giving in her knowledge. She breaks down complex sculpting ideas so everyday people can feel confident in having a go at sculpting.
She has really found her place in this world. It's nice to see!
She's so passionate, and it's fantastic!
I love her enthusiasm and her obvious love of sharing her knowledge.
Loved the video, she's an amazing sculptor

This video just saved a project I started and made it 100x easier. Thank you both!
Fabulous stuff!
That's crazy that she can stand on the dragon like that! Pumped about the Destiny rifle videos!
Yeah, that part really blew me away. Now I need to figure out what to use it for =P
Check out our FB page as we have a cool pic in the Dragon folder of a little girl sitting on top too :) Future "Mother of Dragons" ha ha
Permanent outdoor wargaming table? Maybe. :-)
that technique using tin foil and hot glue just gave me so many ideas! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing. Always great to find new people to get inspired by.
She is an amazing teacher! Thank you!
I like Kim. She seems exciting. Think I'll go watch her videos. Thanks for sharing her work with us, Bill. She has some absolutely beautiful sculptors (especially the dragon she was working on in this video).
durable and for out-of-doors use? GIANT GARDEN CTHULHU.
Aw Yes!
For better or worse, I'm only half-joking. My wife and I have been talking about weird backyard decorations, and that would be one helluva project.
SleepyOni
SleepyOni holy shit!! Yes!
Kim seems like a fantastic person and a wonderful teacher. What I want to know is what kind of glue gun did she have that thing was dripping hot glue like crazy, I totally need that.
"Around the world" = Canada
😂😂😂
That lady is wonderful. Thank you, Kim. And you, PPA. Great content.
So glad you enjoyed the vid!
I looked into this video specifically about the hot glue usage.... And learned something super valuable. Thanks.
Excellent! Happy to help!
Thank you for sharing this Bill and Britt, i'll have to see about using the clay in future projects!
I felt so bad I didn't get to see her work more. Thanks for sharing and finding her again. and it would be fun I think to try to make a base to make a mermaid tail. So I can reuse the mold over and over.
You could probably sculpt a pretty sweet Iron Throne from Game of Thrones! That could sit outside and be great for photoshoots.
Fun!!! Yes :)

This clay. Looks. Amazing. I NEED it. I must. Have it.
Kim is a sculpting Ninja!
Great tips on the ALUsculpting.. exactly what is was hoping to find and abit more.. so much appreciated..
You're so welcome!
I remember her giant tree man she made from paper mache. It was 12 feet tall and inspired by her dad.
This is AWESOME! I've already shared it with some of my students!
Great to hear Steve :)
Pal Tiya I was jumping back and forth between the two videos showing the foil wing and then Kim standing on the surfaced wing! So amazing!
Thank you for the introduction I love her!!
Excellent video would love to make an organic bench for my backyard. This would be excellent. Thanks for sharing the video
I always love giant statues from ancient sites , this would be ideal
A deathclaw would be an amazing thing to sculpt
Punished Props :D
That would be so sick
Kim is awesome, I got to meet her and take a tour of her studio years ago.
Yes she is so incredible! Very talented and creative!
Randy here. Beings Halloweens right around the corner. This Pal Tiya would be perfect for outdoor decorations sculptures masks etc.
This human being is amazing
Thanks for sharing this. I use foil with polymer clay pieces, it is a great filler and light. I will check out her channel as well. Thanks for sharing!
What a fantastic tutorial. You are awesome

I think it would be great for certain projects that will remain outside. also armor plating and certain pieces that you want to be think and hefty.
Very cool stuff! Thanks for introducing this to us. I can't really think of a big project I'd use this for but I want to try this out sometime. I'll bookmark it for later.
Thank you Kim, you're lovely :)
Giving you a like because of kims mad ripping skillz
Kim rocks
thiss is so coool!!!!!! thanks for the share!

I wish my SuperSculpey was THAT durable.... Great vid!
I want to cry... This made me want to build a Monster Hunter Garden 😂... I'm about to spend a RIDICULOUS amount of money on foil... But soooooo worth it!
So cool!!!
You could make a Maltese Falcon replica. If it holds up to the elements, I would go with a sweet bird bath or a crazy statue for the garden. peace.
Try 3D printing a mold out of pva or abs and putting the pal tiya in and then melting the pva in water or abs in acetone
She's great!
I suggest making a life-sized dancing Stormtrooper fountain for your front yard.

I've been using that tin foil bulking technique for years, but i never thought to give it a second layer of foil leather skin.
Thank you . Awesome tips

This seems like a great candidate for a kickstarter campaign.

Does she have a place where we you can walk by and see her at work? I'm in Olympia and would love to see her work up close.

Prop Challenge video idea! Cast a mold of the full-size dragon.
Sounds like this stuff would also be really good for doing custom pieces that you can then mold. It would take quite a bit longer than 3D printing probably, but if you like the aesthetic of sculpting and dont want to lose your master after molding, could be fun, lol.

kim Beaton thank you for the advice! :)
kim Beaton is the fibrous material fiber glass?
Hey Bill!! That dragon is awesome. About the Pal tiya, which are the main differences with concrete from your pov?? Thanks and keep going these videos!!
You guys live in Renton? I live in Auburn! I so want to meet you! I need to tap back into my artistic roots and Pal Tiya looks awesome!
*shakes fist* I wish that I knew about this stuff for my werewolf build. Would've been so much easier to use than apoxie sculpt lol
Is the clay very light?
Alas, Pal Tiya is heavy because it's meant for outdoor use. You need a quarter inch so it's strong enough to stand on. Anything that goes outside usually gets stood on by kids.
Cool techniques and materials.
I like to coat large EPS foam sculptures with AquaResin + SmoothOn's Free-Form air.
I would be very interested in trying PalTiya to see if it has similar properties.
THANK YOU very much for the video!!! :^)
Thank you. It is very interesting. I would like to know if i can sculpe with aluminium and clay and put in oven? Is it o.k.? Thank for your answer. Zipi
I use aluminum foil tape for armatures. I think you can find it in the insulation area in Home Depot and similar stores
Great idea!
- Paige
That was really great. Thanks for the vid, would you use it as a buck? for vac forming?
This video is great and informative, but please use a mic for her next time as I had a very hard time hearing her soft voice!
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for your feedback!
Can wet clay be added once the piece has dried? To add extra detail or cover up a mistake?
this product is not available in Canada yet?
Couldn't you use it to scuplt out props that you want to make silicone molds out of for pouring out resin props later?
Oh, you could use it as the hardened layer that goes around your silicone molds? Sorry, I don't know all the "technical" terms.
so basically i tin foiled in all the wrong ways, LMAO.
There's always room to learn!
i guess the reason it cools so fast is you basicly glueing together heatsinks
I have a crumbling clay pot. It needs a top coat. It is a piece I want to keep. How would I cover the piece with out It drying out? Can it be done?should I try to cover the piece with foil? I have purchased the pal tiya. Need feed back. Thank you.
I'm not sure - I would recommend reaching out to the creators of Pal Tiya, as they'll be able to direct you better
I was trying to think of a way to achieve the texture for the Stonehardt skin for Reinhart costume from Overwatch. Could this be used for a thin outer layer of the the Armour?
Okay, thanks for the response.
I can't order Pal Tiya in Canada.. can you just tell me how to make it from scratch? Lol
ive been hearing alot about your book and was wondering if there was anyway i could get it in e book on amazon
thank you
Her voice... naaaah
Tin foil noise... YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
fun video to watch as always😀 can you sand this stuff? if so maybe try making a star wars helmet or armor. would love to see a video pop up with you sculpting a darth vader helmet😮. curious as to what you can come up with😀
I'm an excited pal tiya beginner...and I'm working on a standing buddha
Fantastic!
This doesn't pertain to the video, but what do you guys use to glue/adhere PLA together?
***** Do you get those small tubes, or do big cans of the stuff exist and you just paint it on?
How's the Boolean Gemini going?
You could use it for 3d molds, make your design, then mold it :3
how about building the dragon stone, Numinex's skull, or a (miniature) elder stone from Skyrim?
Punished Props I remember. but it wasn't stone ;)
you could make a modle of you or britts body for armor
did you get new glasses, Bill?
nice share.
what is the clay made out of and where can we get it?
Everything you need to know is right here: www.paltiya.com
I'd like to know if you could coat EVA foam in this stuff to give it a rigidized shell.
+Christopher Melvin I don’t think that would work very well.
Very possible it wouldn't. Of course that's what scraps are for.
I liked this video as well. I would like to see you make a full mannequin form for this material.
Punished Props can't wait.
Bill I think it would be cool if you made the octane from rocket league (video game) just a suggestion
a stargate!!!!
Kim has a doppleganger in Issaquah.
Why the fuck am I watching this. It'll 11 o'clock, I suck at art, and I have a project I'm supposed to be doing thats due tomorrow.
omg I have meet that lady she helped me learn how to work with clay with???
i would make a dragon or a dragon bust, or i would make a big mech, or gundam
All these years I’ve been ripping from the middle....
