Question 1

Will polymer clay stick to this when It's dried?

Accepted Answer

If you separately baked the polymer clay and then glued it to the air dry clay then yes. You can't stick it to the dried clay, it would just fall off, and you wouldn't be able to bake it as the air dry clay would crack.

Question 2

Can I use this clay to make my baby's hand imprints?

Accepted Answer

No, it's not suitable, there'd not be enough definition at all. Hope that helps.

Question 3

How many packs would I need for 24 beaver cubs to make a model each?

Accepted Answer

It depends on how big the model is to be

Question 4

Is this a paper based air dry clay like Das or resin? Is this smooth and forms a tip when pulled apart or does it look like ripped paper when apart?

Accepted Answer

It is a cold porcelain air drying clay.  Cold porcelain is something you can make for yourself and it uses cornflower, some kind of oil - baby oil or vegetable oil - PVA Glue and water.  Some people put some herbal preservative in (like nutmeg or something.)  It is similar to use as polymer clay except that it is air drying rather than needing to be dried in an oven.  It does not dry completely like the plastic type polymer clay, but rather like a porcelain type texture.  This is white.  To colour it you can use food colouring - only use it sparingly, a little goes a very long way.  Paprika food colouring is great for skin tones, although it is very orange so use it sparingly - mix a very small amount into a little ball of clay and then mix that clay ball with the rest of your clay.  I find the air drying cold porcelain clays difficult to model with, although that is probably due to my own faults rather than any of the products I have tried.  I find that they crack a lot.  Using water or oil will help to soften crumbly, dry clay.  So, no, it is not paper based.  lol  I found this link on you tube for makng your own cold porcelain - there are hundreds of recipes on there!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxqmMyLwxk0  Hope you have fun!
