Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am planning a special project that will be in an exhibition. I studied air dry clays online. I tried a few that cracked. The most positive comments were about DAS. I tried it. I kneaded it in manageable balls until it was malable. I kept my hands wet. I added water when it seemed a little dry, but not too much. I almost used a whole 2.2 lb block. I built a simple 10 inch mesh cone person with an aluminum foil head. It was covered with 1/8 - 3/4 in of DAS - different thicknesses. I read that air dry clay cracks when dried too quickly. I cut holes in a large ziplock and left it open at the bottom. It dried slowly for two days covered loosely. Then I took the bag off and let it finish drying for about 24 hours. Perfect! Rock hard! It can be sanded. Absolutely No Cracks. Dried White. I am thrilled with this clay. I wonder what would happen if I just let it air dry with out the zip lock bag. Maybe I will experiment further. I am ready to start my project with the right clay!
