Actually, paperclay is a ready-made product. It is an air dry clay, presumably made from paper products, sold at craft stores like Michael's. Very easy to work with, dries quickly but not too quickly if you keep your hands wet while working it. Very pliable. Dries smooth but can be sanded if needed. It's a great product. Thanks for the compliment!What is your paper clay recipe? It looks amazing!
After it is primed and painted, you can use pretty much any type clear coat finish. It mostly depends on how weather proof you need it to be.Hmm.. . this might be just what I need to give a smooth finish to a large paper mache spider that I'm currently working on. What type of paint/sealant do you recommend using on paperclay?
