DAS Modelling Clay 500g – White
⚪ Modelling Clay DAS White
500g | Green Stuff World | Classic Air-Dry Clay
Classic paper-fibre modelling clay that air-dries without firing. White colour gives you a clean canvas for any paint scheme. Water-dilutable for precise consistency control. No oven needed, no toxic fumes, just sculpt and let it cure naturally.
🎨 Why White Works
White clay is the universal choice. It shows your sculpting details clearly while you work, takes any paint colour without fighting the base tone, and gives you the brightest possible finish. Whether you're painting it or leaving sections white, this neutral base won't limit your creative options.

✨ What Makes It Good
Paper-fibre formula — organic fibres create a lightweight, workable clay that's easy to shape and won't weigh down your projects
No firing needed — just air-dry at room temperature. No kiln, no oven, no special equipment
Water-adjustable — thin it for spreading, keep it thick for sculpting. Spray with water to keep it workable longer
PVC-free & non-toxic — safe to use, no harsh chemicals. Fine for extended work sessions
Hard when dry — cures to a solid, durable finish. Sand it smooth, drill it, paint it — handles post-processing well
📏 About Shrinkage
Expect 5–10% shrinkage as it dries. This is normal for paper clay — water evaporates and the material compacts. Build slightly oversized if exact dimensions matter. Thicker sections shrink more, so work in thinner layers when precision is critical. For organic shapes and terrain, the shrinkage actually helps create natural texture and cracks.

💡 Working Tips
💧 Keep It Moist
Spray with water while working to prevent surface drying. Cover unused portions with damp cloth. Add water to thin consistency.
⏱️ Patience with Drying
24–48 hours depending on thickness. Don't rush — slow drying prevents cracking. Turn pieces occasionally for even drying.
🎨 Painting Strategy
Seal with primer for best paint adhesion. White base means colours go on true to tone — no colour shift from the clay.
🔨 Finishing Work
Sand smooth when fully dry. Carve, drill, refine — it works like wood. Seal before use in humid environments.
