1.1lb Moldable Cosplay Foam Clay (White) – High Density and Hiqh Quality for Intricate Designs | Air Dries to Perfection for Cutting with a Knife or Rotary Tool, Sanding or Shaping

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!

This was my first experience with foam clay. I love how lightweight it was on the finished item. While making a number of trim pieces and embellishments for a single item, the weight (and balance) of the finished item were a concern. No worries though - those elements barely added any weight at all.I bought & opened this package in December. I didn't open again for several months, and finally pitched it after spotting faint mold discolorations yesterday (in the final days of May). That's an incredible opened-pkg "shelf life" compared to homemade cold porcelain.My only "complaint" is that detailing and edges produced (from the individual molds) are the tiniest bit softer than homemade or commercial air-dry clays. And that attribute just lent a gentle "weathered" quality to my molded elements, which were simply perfect on the finished product. Had I not seen the same embellishments made from other air-dry clays, I wouldn't likely have even noticed this subtle difference.And speaking of differences: The final finished clay work is like tough, rubberized foam. Sealing the piece provided additional reinforcement. While it's nothing you'll be cutting diamonds with, the foam clay was a great option to embellish a hand-made, customized gift. Bonus: If the recipient drops the finished item, or even drops something on it that makes contact with this finished, dried foam clay, the chance of breakage or cracking of the embellishments is virtually zero.I'm very happy with this product's performance and won't hesitate to buy it again for similar applications.

Awesome! Used it for my Seven of Nine Star Trek cosplay to add the “boning” to the corset- one important detail is that you can’t really see through the foam once it’s dry, so I had to attach it by sewing in loops and passing the dried foam through it. Also worked well for the finger caps of the hand prosthetic. It does shrink a bit as it dries so keep that in mind! But it is durable, you can trim it after it’s dry with Xacto knife, scissors or a razor, and it takes paint and rub n buff color very well when dry. All around, great and versatile product!

The media could not be loaded. If you are deciding whether this clay might be useful, buy the smaller size. I bought the 1.1 lb size, and I don't know if I will ever use it all.Pros: light, soft, fun to play with, has about an hour of work time before it starts to harden too much to manipulate. Would be fun for kids. Air dries after about 48 hours.Cons: a bit too soft, and the sculpted object will not hold its shape until about after an hour, so it's difficult to support a piece in that time if it has vertical elements. It also sort of squishes down if it has any substantial weight to it.When fully hardened, after about 48 hours, it is too fragile for many projects. I've seen images of flowers with thin petals made with this, and I would not recommend using this clay for that kind of sculpture because the thinner it is, the more likely it will break.While it's advertised as being for use in making "cosplay" , it breaks very easily, so I don't think it would be good for things like ears, or anything that could stick out and be liable to bang on a doorway or another cosplayer. It might be useful for chunkier cosplay parts, but I wouldn't use it for very large items, like masks, or ornate armor pieces because it would be tremendously disappointing to spend hours making something only for it to break if you accidentally knock it off a table.You can see from the video how easy it is to break, also, it's easy to leave marks on the fully cured item.Final rating: While it appears to have more cons than pros, this is in reference to my intention of being able to build cosplay pieces, which I don't think this clay is really suited for, except for specific circumstances, I gave it four stars, because I can see it being fun for kids to play with. It's easy to use, doesn't require baking, and it's fun to squish around in your hands because of its soft texture.

This stuff is so fun to work with. Its soft, stretch, and can be used in a lot of different scenarios. You can use it in silicone molds too and it will release with that shape. It will need more time to dry I think if you use it in a mold since not all of it will be exposed to the air directly. You get a ton in the bucket. Since it is black, its a little hard to see unevenness when its wet.
