Sculpey Super Sculpturing Compound Medium Blend Gray Clay Pack of 3

Absolutely love this blend. I read other artists reviews about this product about a year ago. I gave it a shot and bought 3 blocks. I have made several projects and I am in love. I always condition the clay by passing pieces through the pasta machine about 20 times and the clay is really soft with no cracking. I love that I can blend while I build out the shapes and then add details with ease. I haven’t really found any issues with it at all. It bakes well with no cracking in my experience. It holds acrylic paint and genisis heat set paints. I just bought another round of 3 clay blocks and can’t wait to get started on more projects. Will be buying again it’s the best price I have found and the clay seems fresh! Like it hasn’t been sitting on shelves for months like craft store clay. When I work through this batch I will be buying again. Don’t think I can ever work with another blend.

I love this type of polymer clay for sculpting because it's so versatile; You can use it all by itself or with an armature and it's very strong compared to other popular brands. I often mix this with other types and brands, as well, and it still holds up. It's easy to condition and mold, though I prefer to use a pasta machine because I live by the mantra, "work smarter, not harder". This blends and holds minute details like a champ, too. After baking, use a variety of media to color, embellish, glue, drill, and anything else you can think of-Sculpey Firm can take it. I've used acrylics, watercolors, pastel, actual face makeup, Sharpie, AD markers (Chartpak), Copic, Arteza products, hot glue, 2-part resin, UV resin- you name it, I've used it on and in tandem with this clay. I've baked it with Swarovski crystals stuck to it with no adhesive and they don't budge. Case and point- if you want to use polymer clay, you can't go wrong with this stuff.

I have no complaints so far. I've been using the clay to sculpt earrings and it's not hard and difficult to be conditioned. So far so good. I wanna use it to make some figurines too

I find working with Medium firm scullery to be “just right”. It holds details very well, while not being too soft (frustrating) or too hard that I have to repeatedly knead it. However, I would encourage you to use it within a year of purchase as it does tend to crumble as time goes on. I have successfully used clay conditioner to revitalize old stock, but that can take a while!

I used this to make prototypes for molds for fishing lures. It was very easy to use and worked well.

This clay is quite firm and is best used with tools. You can use your hands, but get much better results with tools. I personally use silicone tools and wax carving tools. It holds details beautifully and the gray color makes seeing those details much easier. It's my go to clay for figure sculpting. Comparing it to sculpey original, its incredibly hard and requires a lot of conditioning. But, you don't accidentally squish your project while working on it. It's best for smaller projects, things that fit in your hand. I use a pasta machine to condition it before use and a warm room helps too. Once it's conditioned, it's pretty easy to use. If you let it sit too long (a week or more) or if it gets too cold, blending can become a challenge, but using a few drops of clay softener or baby oil will help blend beautifully. It's a bit harder than real doll. If you have even a little bit of experience with sculpting or are very interested I'm using tools, I highly recommend this clay. If you're brand new, I recommend starting with super sculpey original. It's softer, but not play-doh soft like original sculpey. I took off a star because of the age of the clay I recieved. It's old, so it's quite hard and requires quite a lot of conditioning. At least 30 minutes of conditioning each time I sit down to sculpt.

this is the cheapest greatest value for your money. Love sculpey clay. I highly recommend this clay for all the sculptures out there.

Literally my favorite polymer clay. I love it so much. It is the only polymer that I have tried that almost never cracks after baking and if it does once it’s probably because you missed an air bubble. If you fix one crack and rebake it it’s never going to crack again. It is light weight after baked and is very sturdy way better than Sculpey III. Just be sure you warm it up with your hands well before sculpting with it and rub out all the air bubbles and it will never crack.

Ich habe schon mit verschiedenen Polymer-Modelliermassen gearbeitet, Super Sculpey hat sich dabei als günstige, wirklich brauchbare Masse herauskristallisiert. Der Ton kann im Ofen bei 130 Grad ausgehärtet werden, während des Modellierens kann man ihn auch mit einer Heißluftpistole etwas fixieren, um fertige Detail zu festigen. Ansonsten braucht der Ton eine gewisse Weile, bis er so weit ausgetrocknet ist, dass er zu bröckeln anfängt. Die graue Mischung ist etwas härter als die rosa Living Doll Variante, was es anfangs schwieriger macht sie in einen weichen Zustand zu kneten. Dafür hält sie Details sehr gut und schrumpft beim Backen nur marginal. Wer größere Projekte plant, sollte eine Armatur aus Draht verwenden, um der Figur eine höhere Stabilität zu verleihen. Für kleine Projekte reicht die Modelliermasse aus. Nach dem Backen lässt sich das Modell gut mit handelsüblichen Farben bemalen. Eventuell wäre es jedoch ratsam, die Oberfläche vorher mit etwas Schleifpapier zu glätten. Dies ist ohne Probleme möglich und auch das Bohren des fertigen Objekts geht leicht von der Hand. Mein Fazit: Für den Modelliergebrauch wirklich zu empfehlen. Die größeren Blocks bieten eine gute Basis für umfangreichere Projekte. Das anhängende Foto zeigt allerdings ein Projekt, bei dem ich die Living Doll Variante nutze.

It came in hard and unmanageable! I tried to see if I can fix it but it just crumbles! I sent it back and they better give me the refund for it! My first order was good I dont know why this second one is bad! Really sad about it
