CALPALMY Moldable Foam Clay (Gray) - 300g High Density Air Dry Clay Perfect for Intricate Designs, Sculpting, Cosplay, Crafting, Prop Making - Cutting with Knife or Rotary Tool, Sanding or Shaping

I’m really impressed with this foam clay! It’s super easy to work with, soft, moldable, and perfect for making cosplay pieces or fun little crafts. It dries pretty lightweight but still feels sturdy, and it takes paint really well once it’s fully dry. I used it to make some costume details and they turned out great. No cracking, no mess, just a fun product that does what it says. Definitely grabbing more for future projects!

Pro tips: Painting the dried piece with a thin layer of tacky glue makes it look plastic, which is beautiful, but also gives it a smoother finish for when you want to add paint. I didn't realize when I made my first two masks. If you don't prime it first, it has a sort of dry/cracking effect which looks pretty cool as well, but figuring out the tacky glue thing is a game changer for this foam clay.Came in a sealed ziploc bag, not a thin plastic bag like some of the other reviews showed. No mess. The lid popped off in transit, but since it was in the ziploc, no harm done! Soft, pliable, like a cross between bubblegum and marshmallow fluff. Even if you let it dry for a few days, pop it in the freezer and forget about it, you can warm it up in your hands, add a little water and can knead it back into it's previous gummy state, it's pretty forgiving. Definitely will be something I will want to make all kinds of crafts with, especially with the combo of tacky glue.

I really love this clay! I’m no expert in crafting and don’t do this type of thing often, but I thought it would be fun to try as a beginner, and it’s been perfect for making small figures and designs. It took a little time to get the hang of how it works, and I did a few test figures first. The foam does bounce back a bit as you mold it, so you’ll need to adjust from time to time.One thing to note is to be careful how you set your pieces to dry, as they do flatten on the side they’re resting on. I’ve found it works best when they have one designated base to sit on. As it dries, the outer layer becomes rigid, while the inside remains soft, which allows you to add texture and detail like puncture holes. The clay sticks to itself effortlessly, making it easy to add pieces on or place little details without damaging them (like the little flowers on my bear.)I also experimented with adding a tiny bit of acrylic paint to alter the base color, which worked fine, though adding too much will cause the clay to seize up and become difficult to mold. I also found it paints beautifully once dried. When fully hardened, the clay is lightweight and solid, though it does take some time to fully dry inside, even if it feels dry to the touch outside. I know it's fully dried when I can knock on it and it doesn't bounce back at all and sounds hollow inside.Overall, it’s been a really fun clay to work with, and I’m excited to keep experimenting!

The texture is quite nice, very soft, and easily moldable. It dries in a way that leaves it flexible, no cracking or crumbling. You can add more of the clay to dried areas with a little water, but the blending of edges gets more difficult to hide, it’s best to complete a project all at once. The color goes on white and dries just the same, easy to paint on once it’s dry. I’ve handled the clicker mask I made pretty harshly and the clay has never fallen off or come loose, it also sticks well to most surfaces with a little water (water makes it stickier to the touch, don’t add too much). I got the 300 grams bag and it was enough to cover a whole mask and foam pieces, and still had a quarter of the bag left over. Worth the price and performs as it should if you’re fast and use water regularly!

Exactly what we expected. My son used it to make a Slimer prop for Halloween and it was easy to use. Good quality and easy to mold.

Worked very well for my project, nice and light, which was my main concern. Dried in thick layers in about two days, so not too long, and id say the durability is good for foam clay. And I think I got a lot for my money. I'd say it was a very good product.

This clay was soft and easy to work, but for the larg-ish shape I was building it didn’t hold the fine details and got a bit distorted during drying. I don’t think I would use again for a shape that has relatively thick pieces.The “Bob Shrinker” head I’ve got pictures of was built around a foam egg shape, so actually wasn’t that thick. As you can see the mouth got really distorted, the nostrils collapsed (I fixed it a bit before taking the “after” picture, and the wrinkle details were lost a bit.
