CALPALMY Air Dry Clay (8.5oz), Bulk 24-Pack White Moldable Foam Clay, Airdry Soft Clay for Kids Gifts Partty and School Project Supplies, Perfect for Crafts Cosplay Sculpting and Artistic Projects

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 am liking this clay, it is soft easy to work with. It comes in this cute resealable tub, so even more usful after the clay is used. I will be buying more of this product.

Everything thing I learned about foam clay said it was super sticky. I didn't have that issue with this stuff at all. It stuck well where I put it, but it didn't become a problem on my hands. I actually put off using it for a while cause I wasn't prepared for a mess, but this cleans up very easily.

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.

Good clay product very easy to mold. Feels a little bit like butter slime, but keeps it position really well.

Awesome cosplay foam clay!! taking it out of the package, it feels a bit like silly putty. i recommend kneading it very well (stretching it out and folding it on itself several times, until it's warmed up) I didn't do too good a job of flattening it, but it can do so very well - I was just in a hurry. It sands VERY well! I used a dremel, though regular sandpaper works as well - just takes a while to sand. It's important to note that it doesn't stay up on its own, this stuff works best when putting it on a base. I used upholstery foam. It doesn't stick too well before it dries, so I used a tiny bit of hot glue here and there to keep it in place. Once it dries it sticks perfect! Spray paint also works very well on it! I didn't even get through the entire package, i still have about 1/3 of it left for this giant cosplay skull i did. HIGHLY recommend this stuff. Important to note; this stuff takes a while to dry fully! I'd give it 3 full days before working on sanding or painting it. The thinner it is, the quicker it dries, though.

I'd like to give this 3.5 stars. Pros: affordable compared to similar products; great for thick pieces (see photo); excellent for casual/kid crafter. Cons: needs conditioning before use or product will be stringy; thinner pieces tend to curl when air-drying (see photo); QR code needs specific app to work, which I would not download for security reasons. Overall, this is good for casual crafts. If you are making heavy armor pieces, invest in a higher-quality product.

I bought this for building my Senshi helmet cosplay, and I still have 75 percent left. Stuff is great, it dries without cracking and can be spray painted easily. I highly recommend this product I bought the 3.3 lbs and it has lasted. It is squishy if you layer it and it can apply to Eva foam with just a little water.

el producto llego en excelente tiempo y es de mucha utilidad

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

Really great for clay stress ball. It has a kind of slime texture which is really great for a stress ball. It still didn't see the result when it dries, but I'm It's cool. I recommend 😁
