Product overview

Native Critter Clay by Aves is a soft, water-based modelling clay that hardens on its own in the open air, so there is no oven or kiln involved. This 1 lb bag holds a warm brown clay that comes out ready to work: roll it, pinch it, coil it or press textures into it, then leave the piece to dry. Shrinkage is only 0–1 %, which keeps sculpted detail and fitted parts where you put them. You get 30–60 minutes of working time, longer under a damp cloth.

  • Dry to the touch overnight; fully hard in 1–6 days depending on thickness
  • Takes paints, markers and sealers once dry, and can be carved or sanded
  • Wear a dust mask when sanding: dust from the dried clay contains crystalline silica
  • Reseal the bag airtight; opened clay is best used within 14 days

Notes · Q & A

Which glue should I use for plastic, resin or metal?

Plastic cement welds polystyrene kits; resin and metal don't react to cement, so use super glue (CA). PVA is for basing materials only.

Green Stuff or Milliput — which putty?

Green Stuff stays slightly flexible and holds fine sculpted detail; Milliput cures rock-hard and sands smooth, ideal for gap filling. Many modellers mix the two.

How long does epoxy putty take to cure?

Workable for roughly 60–90 minutes, fully cured in about 24 hours at room temperature — check each product's description for exact times.
