I've tried leaving from 20 minutes to an hour, leaving the clay wet, drying it, making it thick and thin and even mixing with sand. Also I tried using a different source! Yet it becomes plastic-y or begins to bubble and melt submitted by /u/Catball-Fun [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I’m still getting an understanding here but I was under the impression that air dry clay is clay mixed with some type of fibre ma ..read more
