Sculpting with AIR DRY vs. POLYMER clay : PROs and CONs explained

Can't we use water to smooth in case of polymer clay too?

this is so helpful! thank you for making this video :)

You must be an amazing teacher. Thanks alot.

Which air dry clay it is? Ceramics clay or China clay?

Polymer clay❤

Can you give me a recipe of polymer clay? I want to add details in my model but air dry clay is not good and in my country I can't buy super sculpting clay because it's not exist for sale

Thank you so much for all your explanatory videos and tutorials. I'm enjoying learning with your guidance. My question is the following:
You keep mentioning the alcohol you're using, but the name is unfamiliar to me. What exactly is that and could I use surgical spirits as well? And did I see you mixing some of the slip with it? Can one also use surgical spirits with air dry clay? Regards D

Air dry clay is the worst

Polymer clay is expensive in my country :'(

Could anyone tell me the best air dry clay to make portraits and don't dry so fast till I finish it

On snails they are actually eyes not antenna lol just thought I'd educate you on the subject 😁

This is exactly what I was looking for!!! thank you so much!!!

So what kind of oven can I use? Regular every day conventional oven? For polymer clay!

Am team polymer clay

I want to sculpt characters with fine details and the clay should also become hard for the paint job, Please help me with the selection of the type of clay I should use........is it Polymer clay, Plastalina, oil based clay or any other material....

Another con of polymer would be that it’s more expensive than air dry

She’s using tricks on the polymer one but not on the air dry clay. How is it fairly tested?

This is just the info i needed. I have been trying to use air drying clay for medium and small and intricate pieces and its very messy and difficult to use in this way. once i get a turn table ill use my air drying clay for that. but it seems that polymer clay is ideal for what im trying to do at the moment. esp because im just now learning how to sculpt and im very slow. i can spend hours on a project with air drying clay, but if i am not done im kinda screwed because its too difficult to keep the clay from drying without messing up my progress.

Polymer clay turns out hard rubber or like stone plz reply

2 questions with polymer clay. 1 - do they crack after baked ? 2 - I don't have bake equipment, is there a cheap way to do it?

What if i use polymer clay on existing action figure, when i bake it will the action figure melted???

Great video, super informative, thank you!!

Air dry clay is wonderful to work with, and doesn't have the issues your project had, if you get decent clay. You're using cheap air dry clay that's meant for children to play with.

Weight is a big issue for me. Isn't air dry much lighter than polymer? I've used polymer and it was always surprisingly heavy

That was a big help. Thank you so much!

I have a question, what if you are making simple sharp teeth but the thing your putting teeth on ,it melts easily in a oven and, I am a beginner as well

Also, polymer clay is terrible for the environment.

Can I use anything at home to soften the sculpey clay?

good skills good job sister

Air dry breaks down easily for me

I have never even tried Polymer because I am afraid of baking in my food oven. So I guess I would feel more comfortable with an oven just for that and still would worry about air borne toxins.

If using polymer clay can it be joined together after baking ?

😃🐌👍

You are the Best........Iam going to try thank you so much Iam Australian living in Kenya atr you Australian

Very helpful

nice vid, you can also use mineral oil and baby oil to smooth polymer clay

Hey can polymer clay touch water? can you make a video about it

What about epoxy clay?

👍

so if i use polymer clay? can i leave it up without having problem of drying? and will it still be workable?

So happy to see you sculpt a snail! I bought both kinds of clay specifically to try my hand at sculpting a snail for my aquarium which is filled with mystery snails. 🥰 Great video and tips!

Good comparison,but incomplete. I'm wondering if I can sand with water sandpaper, for example. And whether any of them are a little flexible after drying? The second thing Im askimg becsuse of molding. Ali the Best 🥰

wait a minute you pre baked it for 10 minutes? will there be problems if you pre bake 3-4 different tims, then finisih Baking at Requiered temperatures will there be any problems like cracks , too brittle, ect ??? Hope to hear someone confirme. Hope i could prebake for just 10 minutes, also if just pre-baking what Temps should i set it at ? Thank you

Hindi me title diya video English me matlab bakvaas

I love this video because these are the types of clays I work with and the same brands

Very helpful 👌🏻

Which one of the two weigh more per ounce/pound?

I use mostly air-dry-clay because we don’t use ovens and I’m only a beginner

One thing I will say is that just because polymer clay doesn't dry doesn't mean it won't stiffen. So, assuming you DID come back to it a month later it's likely to have cracked before you bake it, its fixable but a pain in the ass.
