The Staedtler FIMO Air Basic Modelling Clay White 1kg is a versatile, air-drying clay suitable for a variety of crafting, sculpting, and art projects. Here's a detailed description of the product:
Key Features:
- Air-drying: This clay hardens naturally when exposed to air, eliminating the need for baking or kiln-firing, making it convenient for use at home, in schools, or in studios.
- White colour: The white colour serves as a neutral base that can be left natural or painted after drying, making it ideal for a range of projects, from sculptures to DIY home décor.
- 1kg block: The large 1kg block provides ample material for larger projects or multiple smaller items, perfect for group activities, professional sculptors, or frequent use.
- Made from natural materials: FIMO Air Basic is composed of 95% natural materials, offering an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic clays.
- Non-toxic and safe: This product is non-toxic, making it safe for both children and adults to use.
- Quick-drying: The clay typically hardens within 24 hours, depending on the thickness of the piece. Larger, thicker projects may take longer to dry completely.
- No cracking or shrinking: The clay dries evenly without cracks or significant shrinkage, ensuring a smooth and durable finish.
- Sandable and paintable: Once dry, the clay can be sanded, drilled, carved, and painted using water-based paints or varnishes to customize the finished product.
- Odourless: FIMO Air Basic is odourless during use, providing a comfortable crafting experience, especially in indoor environments.
Benefits and Ideal Uses:
- Arts and crafts: Excellent for creating figures, ornaments, or other decorative pieces.
- Professional modelling: Ideal for more serious art projects or prototypes where no special equipment like a kiln is available.
- Educational projects: Perfect for schools and classrooms where children can explore their creativity with minimal setup and clean-up.
- Home décor and gifts: Great for DIY projects such as handmade gifts, bowls, vases, or wall decorations.
Storage and Care:
- Keep unused clay airtight: Unused portions of the clay should be stored in an airtight container or resealed in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
- Dries at room temperature: There is no need for ovens or other equipment—simply leave your project out to dry.
Tips for Use:
- Work quickly: The clay begins to dry as soon as it's exposed to air, so work efficiently, or cover unused portions to extend work time.
- Use tools for detail: Sculpting tools can help add finer details to your work before the clay dries.
