The difference between resin clay and plasticine! Same with!

The resin clay is not light, heavy, and the light one is called ultra-light clay.

Resin clay has a high gloss and excellent elasticity. So you can use it to make words or some mini food. Resin clay is generally translucent in color and has a very soft touch, making it possible to create many detailed works.

And you can also add some oil paint wheels when making, and you can make all kinds of things you like. Compared with ordinary soft pottery, the main advantage of resin clay is that it is thinner and more transparent than soft pottery. There's also the fact that it's painted with a real effect.

It can be colored both before and after baking. Soft pottery, on the other hand, must be heated in an oven to be shaped.

Ultra-light clay is a kind of paper clay, which is made of some polymer raw materials. It has the following advantages: it is ultra-lightweight, has a very soft feel, does not stick to the hand and does not leave residue.

There are many colors of ultra-light clay and other colors can be modulated by using the basic color, and the method of mixing colors is also very easy. The work made from it does not need to be baked, it can be dried naturally, and there will be no cracks after drying. Ultra-light clay is highly bonded to other materials and is highly inclusive.

Ultra-light clay works are kept for a long time and do not deteriorate and mold.

1.In fact, as long as the resin clay is rubbed into the pigment, the clay will dry and become a solid color.

There is no need to be a lot! If only a small amount of pigment is rubbed in.

The clay will also have a little translucency! If it is a primary color (transparent color), just rub it in talcum powder.

You can reduce transparency! 2.Resin clay is a very slippery and elastic clay; Light clay soils have less moisture.

The resulting work is prone to dry cracks and is rough.

Therefore, the surface of the resin clay will be relatively smooth.

No pores! 3.A mixture of light clay mixed clay is called light clay mixed clay.

It can make the resin clay lighter when it dries.

The advantage of this mixed clay is that it is not overly smooth as resin clay, and at the same time has the cotton feel of light clay, which can be used to make dough, egg wedges, potato chips, french fries, snow, marshmallows, .........However, it is not suitable for making some food with transparent spike sense, because it is absorbent, and it is not suitable to be put into epoxy resin. Attention to beginners: this kind of clay dries quickly, dry cracks will appear if you are slow, you can use a wet towel to cover the spare clay, do not put the used clay back in the bag and put it with the unused clay, after drying it is cut with a cutter, you will find that its texture is very special.

4.If you make some humanoid dolls.

Both types of clay are fine.

Or mix and use together.

The effect will be very good! 5.Of course, light clay can be toned with pigments.

It doesn't have to be colored light clay to mix with each other! 6.The dried resin clay is dirty.

It can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

But the light clay is dirty.

It should not be washed with water. Otherwise, it will dissolve the work! 7.oil in the clay pigments are not satisfied.

It should not be wiped off with diluted water.

Because it might corrode the clay away! If you want to erase it.

Resin clay is also known as bread clay, bread clay, flour clay, wheat flour clay and so on. Yes.

There is a reason for the multiple names, and it has to do with its history, but there are still some differences between them. The original bread clay originated in Mexico in Latin America, where the locals used leftover bread crumbs to collect, dry and grind them into flour, and add white glue to make clay, hence the name. However, the clay with this flour is not extensible enough, and it is not strong enough, and it is easy to mold due to dampness, and it also attracts insects.

The resulting works are easy to break after drying and cannot be stored for a long time. Later, after the Japanese improved the process formula and production process, the current resin clay appeared, because the things made of it are dry, there is a cold white like porcelain, so it is also called cold porcelain clay --- (generally known as polymer clay in the West).

Nowadays, resin clay is a viscous and flexible substance that can be used to create any image. Because it has high plasticity, rich softness, and the finished product has a high degree of image authenticity, strong texture, and simple usage, just take out the appropriate amount, add oil paint to adjust the color, and then create the image in your mind, and dry it naturally.

Because resin clay is shiny and elastic, it is best suited for flowers, mini foods, fruits and vegetables, or small dolls. The resin clay translucent color has a soft feel, can be extended to a very thin and will not crack, and can be freely made into delicate works, and you can make various things according to your personal preference by simply adding oil painting colors when making or coloring after finishing. Because it can be stretched to a very thin level, it makes it very light and natural, so the effect of making clay flowers is very good.

After the work is naturally dried, it can be lightly swept with oil painting or acrylic paint to increase its beauty and three-dimensionality.

Compared with soft pottery, resin clay has the advantage of stronger ductility and can be thinner and more transparent than soft pottery. There is also its coloring effect, which can almost achieve the effect of being fake. You can add color directly before making it, or you can color it after you're done.

After the production is completed, the resin clay does not need to be baked to set naturally, while the soft pottery needs to be heated in the oven to set the shape.

1. Clay.

Clay generally refers to clay, clay is a clay soil with few sand particles, and water is not easy to pass through it to have good plasticity. Clays in general are formed by the weathering of silicate minerals on the earth's surface. Generally, weathered in situ, the particles are larger and the composition is close to the original stone, which is called primary clay or primary clay.

The composition of this clay is mainly silicon oxide and alumina, which is white and fire-resistant, and is the main raw material for the preparation of porcelain clay.

2. Resin clay.

There are two types of resin clay, one is bread flower (flour clay). Bread flower originated in Latin America, where the locals used leftover bread crumbs, collected them, dried them and ground them into flour, and added white glue paste to make "flour clay". However, the clay made of this flour is not malleable enough and not strong enough, and the works created are easy to crumble after drying and cannot be stored for a long time.

Later, this simple technique was introduced to Japan, where it was improved and preservatives and other chemicals were added to make flour clay. This flour clay itself is translucent, soft in nature, can be stretched to a very thin point without cracking, and can remain elastic even after drying, allowing it to be freely made into delicate works. It has high plasticity, strong texture, simple usage, can use oil paint, acrylic pigment to adjust the color, and then create the image in mind, natural air drying.

The finished works can maintain the same form, and can be used for the production of flowers, small animals, dolls, ornaments and other works. The most suitable clay is to make flowers, which can be stretched to a very thin level to make a very light and natural feeling, but the work is relatively matte, and the work must be thinly swept with oil paint on the surface after drying to increase its beauty and three-dimensionality.

3. Resin clay and clay relationship.

Resin clay is a type of clay, and clay is a larger concept.

Compared to clay, resin clay has the advantage of being more malleable and can be thinner and more permeable than clay. There is also its coloring effect, which can almost achieve the effect of being fake. You can add color directly before making it, or you can color it after you're done.

After the production is completed, the resin clay does not need to be baked to set naturally, and the clay needs to be heated in the oven to set the shape.
