500g Moldable Foam Clay (White)

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.

I really love this clay! I’m no expert in crafting and don’t do this type of thing often, but I thought it would be fun to try as a beginner, and it’s been perfect for making small figures and designs. It took a little time to get the hang of how it works, and I did a few test figures first. The foam does bounce back a bit as you mold it, so you’ll need to adjust from time to time. One thing to note is to be careful how you set your pieces to dry, as they do flatten on the side they’re resting on. I’ve found it works best when they have one designated base to sit on. As it dries, the outer layer becomes rigid, while the inside remains soft, which allows you to add texture and detail like puncture holes. The clay sticks to itself effortlessly, making it easy to add pieces on or place little details without damaging them (like the little flowers on my bear.) I also experimented with adding a tiny bit of acrylic paint to alter the base color, which worked fine, though adding too much will cause the clay to seize up and become difficult to mold. I also found it paints beautifully once dried. When fully hardened, the clay is lightweight and solid, though it does take some time to fully dry inside, even if it feels dry to the touch outside. I know it's fully dried when I can knock on it and it doesn't bounce back at all and sounds hollow inside. Overall, it’s been a really fun clay to work with, and I’m excited to keep experimenting!

This foam clay works great! It forms easy and keeps it shape. You can sand it and it has a nice printable finish. The handy container with a zip lock bag inside makes it last a long time. I will definitely buy again!

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.

Great value its super soft like a cloud I don't even know how to explain how soft this clay is. Fun for kids to craft literally anything my daughter likes to make little accessories for her barbies like pretend food items or animals. It dries and stays slightly flexible like lightweight dense foam. Great quality especially for the price. We usually get colored packs but I got all white this time because we intended to paint it this time. I used it to make a deathgun face mask (from Sword Art Online) for my son's halloween costume

My daughter is a sculptor and wanted to experiment with foam clay, so we gave this one a try. She really enjoyed using it and said she believes it took her sculpture to the next level. She’s not well versed in foam clay, as she mostly works with air dry or polymer, but she was impressed and said she’ll definitely use it again.

el producto llego en excelente tiempo y es de mucha utilidad

I got this to help me make maple key fairy wings for a renaissance fair and a fake sword. It works great for both being easy to work with, light weight and making the props look great. For the cardboard sword I struggled to get it super smooth but I’m still working with it and the base is kind of crazy. However it was the PERFECT thing to finalize my wings. In the photo you can see I used it to cover up the clothes hanger support wire along the top and then to do the veining.

I got this clay as a first time animal suit maker--I'm making a Wendigo outfit for Halloween--and I needed to make adjustments to the skull I got commissioned, as well as the claws I ordered. Neither have come in yet, so I decided to test the clay out by making the paw pads for the claw hands. Easy to work with, stayed moist and malleable even after being left alone for a little while as I ate, and continued to be workable throughout the entire process. I left it overnight to dry, and to my pleasant surprise, it not only DIDN'T shrink, but puffed up just a bit! Which is excellent for what I need, considering they're going to be buried in faux fur. But the best part? It didn't lose shape or details when it puffed up. Those all remained the same. And I wasn't even aiming for details myself, considering I'll be sanding these down to smooth them out. I'll also be painting them! Anyways, I'm buying more for future projects. This stuff is honestly great, and for the price, it's an absolute steal. If you're thinking about getting this, I recommend you absolutely do.

Excellent product! I used it for EVA Foam costume.

Best product to work on detail
