Claycrete -- Instant Papier Mache:


NON-TOXIC

Pure white and dries white. It's easy to prepare, easy to model, very economical, and exceptionally white when dried at room temperature. Finished projects are very lightweight.

Claycrete is non-toxic, comes in powder form, and mixes with water to form a paste. Shake the closed bag first to thoroughly blend the ingredients before using. When in paste form, it is modeled or applied over an armature. Claycrete starts setting up in 30 minutes, then detailed modeling can be done. Additions will stick to the form without any problem, because it will cling to any clean surface, but will not stick to the hands.

One pound of Claycrete® will make 97.5 cubic inches or 18 bags will make 1 cubic foot of solid material.

Claycrete is an excellent material for children’s craft objects, as it is white in color and easy to use. It can be painted with acrylic colors or any other safe paint for children. It can also be used by adults for making large sculptures, theater background props, or any other item where a lightweight material is preferred.

Claycrete dries best slowly at room temperature but drying time can be decreased by placing the piece in the sun or in a kitchen oven at 150ºF (65ºC). Claycrete must be completely dry before painting.
