Review on ๐Ÿ”จ ACTIVA Plus Natural Self-Hardening Clay White 2.2 lbs: Premium Air-Dry Modeling Clay for Sculpting & Crafts by Ashley Carter

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as good as Paperclay gone!

I've been using Paperclay for many years but decided to give it a try because of the lower price. I'm an artist who makes molds for liquid latex and also sculpts faces for dolls that I make myself. This clay dries too quickly even for small projects. You must constantly moisten it as you work, otherwise it will dry out before you can even start shaping. It also tends to shrink and crack during curing. If you don't use release agents, you may forget to remove the latex from the molds without many holes. Even with a release agent, the clay crumbles a lot when trying to extract the product. I will use the rest, but not for my usual projects. It's just not as great as Paperclay for what I do. I will not buy it again but will pay more for less paperclay. Paperclay is more flexible, doesn't dry out as quickly, doesn't crack or shrink, and is generally much easier to work with.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • unreliable
