## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am having trouble envisioning how much "two pounds" is?  I need enough for ten children to form a life-sized "hand."  How many packages should I order.**
A: My 2.2 pound block is much smaller than I thought it would be.  Since the other answer uses butter as an example, I will too - imagine 4 and a half maybe 5 sticks of butter.  My friend got a 5 pound box of air-hardening modeling clay (different brand) and that was about the size I was hoping for from this order.

**Q: What is the life expectancy of something made from this clay? I've heard of other products becoming powder after a year.**
A: It is really hard to say how long it will last.  However, keep in mind that it is raw clay that is not being fired or changed in any way but other than letting the water evaporate out of it.  It will not last forever, but it could last anywhere from a few weeks to several years.  If you want something permanent, consider a ceramic clay that is fired in a kiln.

**Q: Does the clay actually dry hard? As in solid and rock steady, or softer and crumbly.**
A: Hard. Not hard as a rock; certainly breakable but not soft and not crumbly.  Good for plaque, tile, figurines, beads etc

**Q: Will the clay dissolve in water after hardening?**
A: Yes it does, but I have used a water safe glaze on it after painting and had no issues. I made a sponge bowl for my clay work just to see if it would work and so far after 6 months of use the water has not damaged the sculpture. 
I am not sure that I would submerge the clay form, or keep liquid in it all the time, but it seems to be resistant with the proper glazes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for kids art
*by B***T on January 14, 2026*

This modeling clay is easy to work with and holds detail really well, making it great for both beginners and more experienced crafters. It’s soft enough to shape by hand but firm enough to keep its form, and it dries evenly without cracking when given proper time. I like that it doesn’t require baking, which makes projects simpler and more accessible. Once dry, it can be sanded and painted without any issues. Overall, it’s a dependable clay for a wide range of creative projects and a good value for the size.
