Review: Brings Out the Leonardo In Me - Well if DaVinci could sculpt snails and sharks he might match my genius using this stuff which, it seems I have a talent for. At least that's what my grandchildren think anyway. Given the current situation my wife and I do our bit with our six year old grandchildren and when they come over and visit we make the effort to do something a bit 'old school' and hands on. This time we decided that modelling clay would be a good occupier of time and hands and it proved to by thus. Now, when dealing with six year olds one has to accept that there may be a fair bit of commissioning involved and that certainly proved to be the case with us with the small people in our lives requesting ever more complicated works of art. Well I gave it my best shot and managed a very good snail, a passable shark and a somewhat down at heel tyrannosaurus rex. I made sure it was a joint effort with my grandchildren making up various sausages to be formed collectively into various shapes. When we finished we had a collection of perhaps less than able animals but had used up quite some time together discussing and working on these art works. That's worth quite a bit I'd say and it's nice to see that even in these computer dominated times children can still get something from basic craft materials and a bit of help and time. To use it's easy. Just open the bag, cut off what you need and once you have kneaded it a bit to make it more pliable for moulding and forming off you go. It's water soluable so when joining or smoothing a little bit applied helps it out. Once the masterpiece is made all you have to do is leave it out to air dry which, it does in a couple of days in a warm environment. As it's water soluable it's easy to wash up afterwards with no manky stuff on one's hands. I'm not quite sure that would be the case on nice soft furnishings so best make sure wherever this is used is wipe down. Overall a great craft product even if you are a serious modeller or sculptor making genuinely good art.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What are the ingredients please? It has a very strong chemical smell. Unpleasant so I wonder if it is toxic**
A: I have since used mine so I don't know what's written on the pack but I did a search and it just says that it contains no softeners, only vegetable binders. I didn't think it smelt toxic, it smelled natural to me. Perhaps write to the manufacturer to ask what else is in it?

**Q: After modelling and air drying for a day, will this clay disperse when immersed in water?**
A: Normally not, it can resist to the water for some hours

**Q: Is this clay biodegradable? I’d like one without the usual nylon fibres...**
A: Hi there, it doesn't say anything on the packet. Thanks Peter

**Q: how quickly does this clay set?**
A: Generally after 24 hours the clay is dry but it depends on what you are making and the thickness of your item. :)

I accidently bought the wrong colour when I bought this, but I used it any way as I only noticed that once I had opened it! It was easy to mould, dried fine and I managed to do what I wanted to, but I really do wish it was white! I think that would have looked better for what I wanted. But this was nice to work with.
