We\u003cbr\u003e\nwill cover the two most common here. Every medium has its own characteristics,\u003cbr\u003e\nchallenges, and virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAir dry clay, or paper clay: IOD\u003cbr\u003e\npaper clay is an air dry medium, and one of our favorites. Like most paper pulp\u003cbr\u003e\nbased air dry clays, some shrinking, warping, and cracking is inherent. We like\u003cbr\u003e\nthese qualities for a distressed, authentically vintage look. Our favorite way\u003cbr\u003e\nto apply moulded pieces is to remove them from the mould while still moist, and\u003cbr\u003e\nadhere to the surface with the appropriate glue so it conforms well. For\u003cbr\u003e\nvertical surfaces, use a piece of low tack tape to hold it in place so it\u003cbr\u003e\ndoesn’t slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCasting resins: There are some\u003cbr\u003e\ngreat pourable resins available. These have completely different qualities than\u003cbr\u003e\nthe paper clay. There is no shrinking or warping, and the castings are more\u003cbr\u003e\nconsistent. Depending on the project, these qualities can be helpful. If you\u003cbr\u003e\nneed to conform them to a curved surface, this can be done if removed from the\u003cbr\u003e\nmould before it’s completely hardened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn releases: We find that most\u003cbr\u003e\nof the time a release is not necessary and the casting will come out without\u003cbr\u003e\nthe use of a release, however, if you are having trouble with the material\u003cbr\u003e\nsticking (more common with clays than resins), a light dusting of simple\u003cbr\u003e\ncornstarch or arrowroot is a great choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tracy M Creations ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45029701320899,"sku":"SKU: IOD-MOU-VIL","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/5030\/7523\/files\/il_fullxfull.7347507398_1zv5.jpg?v=1767987427","url":"https:\/\/tracymcreations.com\/products\/village-market-6x10-iod-mould","provider":"Tracy M Creations ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
