no problem im glad this helped you !!!

When buying super sculpey look on the back of the package for production date and even open it and give it a bit of a push some of it is really hard and needs to be worked some comes soft. the pink super sculpey is alot easier to work then the grey. good luck i hope you enjoy it

Awesome info thanks for that!!!

polymer clay is really fun to play with !!

@@mattiecreates I agree👍

Glad it helped!!!! Das is a hard clay to get details.

@Henrik Schandorff that is polymer clay , same as the super Sculpey I show in my video. Polymer clay comes in every color and many diffey brands but super Sculpey and fimo are most popular. DAS has alot of fibers and is like paper machete ..the clay use in the video is very soft and cuts clean. They are not the same clays.

@Henrik Schandorff OK so i just watched the whole video and not just the time stamp you put in.. it does say paper clay , but it still does not look as textured as Das, and for most people you wont get that kind of detail with das and you will get frustrated. The great thing about this is my video is my opinion based on MY experience to help with buying options. if you think you can do that with Das than please buy some and make a video, id love to see it !! But you are going to work 10 times harder with that clay than you will with something like Monster clay , chavant or super sculpey as they take detail no problem , they clean up easy with way less mess and can be smoothed faster no power tools needed. Thanks for commenting , have a great day !

@Henrik Schandorff As someone who started scultping with DAS I can guarantee you it's not it haha. Whenever I tried to make those little details with it it just teared no matter how I tried to do it. You can't make such little details with it or create such a smooth surface.

if you dont bake it .. sort of ..but you would be putting finger prints in it, id recommend plasticine for stop motion

i agree , i wasnt trying to hate on Das. but i do feel like people may advance out of Das quickly if sculpting is something they want to stick with.

Polymer clay can be cured and last forever, Monster clay and Chavant are waxed and oil based clays and they wont last forever with out making a mold out of silicone

Sculpey firm , monster clay medium or hard and or chanvant NSP hard or medium , just remember the monster clay and chavant dont go hard.. but you can make the super sculpey firm hard by baking it!

you're telling me you dont ever chew your gum with paper mache ?

@@mattiecreates no because thats weird.😐😑😐

Thank you i appreciate that !!! i will have to step up my game and find time to actually make some more vids XD

Great question , i would hands down go with Monster clay. Best of luck on that endeavor !

@@mattiecreates another question: Does the Monster Clay dry when left out? I know you can’t bake it because it gets soft. Thanks again! 🙏🏼

@@firedog1972 yea

​@@firedog1972 Monster clay never dries - it hardens to a more wax-like consistency once it cools. How hard it gets is determined by the version you buy. This stage can be really good for detail work or smoothing/finishing. If you want to keep working on it though, you can use a heat gun on low setting, your body heat (aka your hands), or even a heat lamp to warm it back up to your desired consistency.

@@J0nnyTheJ3w thank you for sharing your knowledge with me. Awesome!!

you can buy sculpey clay softener or try working little pieces in your hand , once it warms up a bit it becomes more pliable. also it could be an old batch in that case clay softener is the only way

Okay thank you

He said u did

I Mainly use scupley firm it holds details the best but it can cause your fingers and hands to cramp as it can be REALLY firm , if you are going to use sculpey firm id recommend getting some sculpey softener

@@mattiecreates thanks. I'm looking for a clay that is strong and holds details well. I have very strong hands.

Id love to , this video is definitely Opinion based and i appreciate you taking the time to show me and help me learn as well , my Instagram is Mattie Creates feel free to message me on there and share your work id love to see it!

Thats a hard one, i dont know if there is a best but some have different properties , i would say most standard air dry clays are of similar quality. Michaels sells air dry clay in a big box

i would choose Super Sculpey to start out

@@mattiecreates Thanks!!

No, it would melt, the medium and hard versions are hard enough, you can just paint over them

@@badvibeslogan8047 so when i use medium, when i finish sculpting, it will be rock solid?

@@badvibeslogan8047 and when its hard , when u use ur hands to touch it, will it get fingerprints?

@@carlosart3611 I use the hard version and I don’t notice fingerprints, but before you paint it, I would let it sit for a couple days to make sure it’s fully cooled

@@badvibeslogan8047 then lets say that i finished sculpting and painting , it will be like rock solid like a statue rite?

Does which one dry? the Das clay is air dry , the super sculpey needs to be backed and the chavant and monsterclay harden when cooled.

DO IT!! lol you wont regret it

@@mattiecreates I have 2lbs of super sculpey medium, it's my first attempt at armatures/ sculpting. I've read/watched a lot of information, just need to figure what I am going to do & do it. I like that this clay won't harden so I can pratice everything I actually absorbed lol.. awesome vid, keep up the great work man!

Amazon

it is a great clay to work with ! Thank you for watching

hey it will still get you sculpting and some people can do some amazing things with Das clay. id recommend going super sculpey if you can find any for a good price

i dont really work at all with air dry clay lol , its not my thing and thats very obvious by my videos, but the great thing about opinions is we all have them XD , thanks for watching!!!!
