Usually dries very rough, even if you mist it and try to smooth it, generally requires sanding unless rough look is desired This dry, white, non-toxic modeling material produces objects that are very lightweight, strong and durable. Doesn’t really take on a proper “clay” texture so sculpting a glob of the stuff is very hard--think the texture of gooey chocolate chip cookie dough you have to plop down on a baking tray, rather than a sugar cookie dough you can mold and sculpt and add details to.

Palette knife – useful for spreading the Sculptamold because of the bend in the handle but again any knife will do. It smears onto armatures pretty well and can be smoothed with water (which I'll discuss a bit more later). Below is the official blurb but the cut down version is that if you have used modroc or other plaster based scenery items this is just like that but without the weight as its a paper based product. Mix it up with strips of old net curtain (ask your local charity shop) it works just like a plaster bandage You may choose to restrict the collection or use of your personal information in the following ways: Since it does tend to dry so fast, it probably is much less likely to grow mold or mildew than lots of other powder modeling compounds like instant paper mache because it doesn't stay moist for very long, though I would still take precautions to keep it in a dry, clean area so as to avoid any spores taking root and generally treat this stuff as something to not get damp later on if possible.

Amaco - SCULPTAMold BAG - 3lb

We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with a better service, and in particular for the following reasons: Sculptamold has been a revelation once we got some out of the bag to trial on a small offcut of spaceboard as shown below. Probably needs to be sealed to remain moisture proof; whether with paint or an acrylic sealer or something. Sculptamold® is a dry, white, non-toxic compound that combines the best features of clay, plaster, and papiermache, does not shrink, and is durable for dioramas, 3-D sculptures, model railroad scenery and stage scenery. After shaking closed bag to thoroughly blend contents, add water to Sculptamold® as directed on bag and begin modeling. Sculptamold® sets in 30 minutes, so prepare only as much as can be used in a half hour of modeling time.

It is also possible that your canvas is the source of the mold, especially if it has been stored damp. After you stretch it on your frame, spray it with Concrobium Mold Remover (available at Home Depot and other fine stores) and let it dry completely before applying the Sculptamold. It will kill any spores that are present. You can also spray your shower (or sink, or any other nearby water source) with it, which will kill any mold lurking there. Sculptamould is basically paper fibres (posh papier mache) and does take awhile to dry out as it sets by drying rather than the chemical reaction you get with plaster based products. First of all, I'll just come out with it: this stuff didn't do what I wanted it to. In fact, all the pieces I made with it were unsatisfactory and are now rejects sitting in a pile and I've since redone all the pieces with other materials.

This week we are looking at how to start your diorama using blue craft foam and sculptamold as a base. We use hot wire tools to carve out the foam and then apply a layer of sculptamold to smooth out the appearance. Doesn’t hold onto fine detail work well at all; there's a brief period between wet and dry that would allow you to press like a metal tool or stamp into it, but it's hard to find that sweet spot and I didn't test this extensively, so I wouldn't could on it being able to be decorated in this way. Sculptamold® is a dry, white, non-toxic compound that combines the best features of clay, plaster, and papier mache, does not shrink, and is durable for dioramas, 3-D sculptures, model railroad scenery and stage scenery.The texture is smoother than other paper-pulp based modeling compounds that you get in a powder form and mix with water; it’s not 100% lump free, but it is smoother than CelluClay, for example.

As previously mentioned the setting/drying time depends on how much water you used in the mix and the environment its drying in. It holds paint very nicely (Also, I did not attempt to color this stuff with paint beforehand; I painted on top of it when totally dry, so I can't say if it the white modeling compound can be colored beforehand or if this will do something bad to it, like stop the chemical reaction that makes it dry so fast). Bread knife – if you don’t have any hot wire tools then any knife will do the job albeit more messily and roughly.White glue – I’ve used various brands and now just fill up my bottles with cheap PVA from the DIY shop.
