 Excellent multi-purpose material for projects Apr 27, 2010
By Will Kalif
"StormTheCastle"
I recently started using celluclay for various projects. I have done lots of paper mache projects and decided to give Celluclay a try. I am very pleased with it. It is kind of like a high quality paper mache with a very fine texture. Traditionally it is used to make masks but I have been using it for a whole host of other applications including as a covering over cardboard and foam. I put it over a cardboard sword and it created a very appealing Iron Age look. I put it over a foam castle and it created an excellent stone fortress look.
You have a lot of control with this because you mix it with water to get any consistency you want from watery to oatmeal to clay like.
Takes paint - It takes all kinds of paint very well.
Drying: It takes quite a while to dry and you will have to let it sit overnight, but I speed up the drying with a hair dryer. Also, once it is dry it forms a very hard shell that you can saw, file, drill and sand. Which means you can further refine your project.
Summary: It is very versatile and should be in any crafts person's arsenal.

 Celluclay ...lumpy finish! Jan 01, 2012
By omalama
"mama"
I chose Celluclay over an aluminum foil ball armature to form the head of an art doll. The product was a little messy to use but nothing worse that I anticipated. It took 1 to 3 days for each layer to dry in my cold studio. When I kept the studio at a higher temperature, it dried more quickly. Most frustrating to me was the lumpiness of the finished product. Despite efforts to sand it smooth, both by hand and with an electric sander, the vast majority of lumps remained. To be fair, photos of produces on the packaging were also lumpy, so this is something the company is not hiding. When lumpiness is desired, as with simulated stone or rough hewn wood, I think it would be an excellent choice. The finished product is certainly hard and quite durable.

Okay product, not that easy to work with Aug 22, 2011
By Ken & Heather M
Depends on what you're using it for. Our hope was that it would be easy to use and dry to a hard smooth finish. It was a little messy and dried to a hard but not so smooth surface. May work for you, depending on what you need..
Great in the classroom!! Feb 10, 2008
By F. Laskaris
I purchased this product to use in my classroom - it worked wonderful!! I was impressed by my students ability to manipulate the medium into masks we were making. The product is easy to use, and hardens well. My students made masks which were about 1/2 - 1 inches think in some areas and took about 3 days to completely harden - after which they painted the masks (the hardened Celluclay took well to the Tempra paint we used). I do recomend using a wax or baking sheet under the wet Celluclay this way the product does not stick to anything. I also found it was best to tell my students to instead of pull and poke at the wet Celluclay they should almost "pet" the clay in order to manipulate it best - this helped to keep their hands less messy.
