Instructions

Critter Clay™ is ready to use and requires no mixing.
Knead the clay slightly before use to achieve the desired softness and workability.
Apply it directly to armatures, forms, or prepared surfaces, and sculpt with hands or modeling tools to create the required shapes and details.

The clay adheres well to most materials and can be smoothed with a small amount of water to refine surfaces and blend edges.
Build up layers as needed while sculpting fine textures or structural elements.

Allow the sculpture to air dry naturally until fully hardened.
Drying time will vary depending on thickness and environmental conditions.
Once dry, the surface can be sanded, painted, sealed, or finished with compatible coatings.
Store unused clay in a sealed container to prevent it from drying out.
