A Hack For The Crack (Kinda)No matter what I have tried, cracking is seemingly unavoidable. However, I have found that if I add water to the clay until it's slightly softer than a Play-Doh consistency, it REALLY helps with the severity of the cracks. I'm wondering what adding some oil or maybe even glue would do...
Anyway, I've been going in and filling the cracks as my projects dry. They're looking great. I can also wet my finger and smooth things out nicely with what I'm working on. As soon as everything is bone dry, I'll be spraying protective coatings on my project pieces.
If anyone cares—I'm working on 3D paw prints of my old gal. I took her prints in salt dough (took multiple of each paw for options/in case one or two ever break in life), baked them, let them cool overnight, and used that to press some clay into. I tried using as minimal clay as possible with some, and others I kept thicker. All have turned out absolutely beautiful so far. Again I do have to watch the cracks and tend to them, but it's worth it. Touching them makes me know I'll always be able to hold her hand no matter how far away we are from each other. Thanks for that, Crayola. I really do appreciate it.

Easy to work with but not durableI experimented with this to try and make some fake bake cookies. You can condition it, roll it out, and cut it relatively easy. But it is fragile. I tried to mix in glue, but made no difference. I painted the 'cookies' but they still snap apart if handled like anything less than fragile glass. I worked my way through one tub since it was already open but the second one went back. Supposedly other brands are more durable so we'll see.
great price point to experiment with but that's about it. I did discover that the Model Magic line - also by crayons - has a bit more versatility than this.

Great clay for crafting with childrenMy children and I found this white air dry clay easy to work with. They made all kinds of things from holiday ornaments to simple pinch pots. Depending on the thickness of the finished piece, the clay needs 2-4 days to dry. We were able to use basic acrylic paint to finish the clay pieces with no issues.

Good basic earth clayWas able to make quite a nice sculpt out of this. Has yet to be seen what paint does.
Used a bit of white glue to help bond pieces and reinforce structures, so far has worked like a charm; able to bind dried pieces to one another with no problems.

Easy to sculpt with…but that’s it.Loved sculpting with this, doesn’t dry too fast. I left my small sculptures to cure for a month and when I went to paint them using Golden acrylics (great quality paint) it would easily chip/peel off. I did 3 coats, waiting for them to dry each time, and then tried varnishing them and… they still peel/chip at the lightest touch.

Unsure how to seal finished projectI purchased for my son and I and my main concern is being able to seal our finished projects. I've heard everything from Modge Podge to varnish.
I'm actually looking for suggestions from people who have used both and what are the pros and cons of each.
