Other product tips :

• ScolaClay can be used to make very large or small items and, can be glued (using P.V.A. glue) to cardboard tubes, boxes or hardboard. Many pattered objects can be made in this way, for example pictures and decorated boxes.
• Water based paints work very well with ScolaClay but before you finish your model, you can use heavy duty pva glue or acrylic gloss varnish to stick paper, powders, sand, seeds, sawdust, etc.,etc., to the surface.
• If you want your colours to glow, coat your model in white, acrylic primer undercoat, then paint it. Good quality water based paints are ideal, e.g. system 3 artists paints or Artmix Liquid Tempera. You can also use oil based paints (messy to clean brushes).
• Having painted your model, you can then varnish it to bring up the colours and to give it that extra coat of protection. Acrylic water based varnishes work very well and are easy clean (brushes). When dry, acrylic varnish does not wash off and is water resistant.
• If you have a kiln and want to fire your work, ScolaClay fires very well. Your kiln should be set in the range of 1000°C to 1250°C. You can glaze as you would any other clay you might use.
