Hi guys, this is Cosador, Johnathan here! I want to talk about air dry modelling clay
YouTube has its fair share of tutorials and why not it's a great modeling medium
I've got a few ways that I make it and a few tips too.
These are my Air-dry Modelling Clays in 3 Different ways!
Most air-dry modeling clay is made predominantly out of cornflour also known as corn starch
and PVA glue also known as wood glue also known as polyvinyl acetate.
With these two ingredients, this is generally achieved with heat turning the otherwise
non-newtonian fluid into a fibrous dough but that's not the only way
I'm going to show you through my three favorite methods.
At number three the slime way. For this I need PVA glue, ordinary moisturizer, baby oil, cornflour
and some paint for color. I put 20mL of PVA glue into a container,
I add 1.25mL of ordinary moisturizer and I add
1.25mL of baby oil, then I stir it together, once combined, I add 17.5grams
of cornflour. In this case, I will add cornflour until I get a very thick
mixture that doesn't break with stirring. I pull it from the container, knead it
with a little bit of moisturizer if necessary add some colorful paint then
knead until uniform.
I put it into cling wrap or an airtight container and it's done!
This method is great for thin applications it has self-leveling
properties, but still being in it's non-newtonian state it's subject to
gravity, tends to crack and it's best used fresh. Next!
Number two, the heated way
probably the most popular way. For this, I need PVA glue, ordinary
moisturizer, cornflour and some paint for color. I put 20mL of PVA glue into
a container, I add 1.25mL of moisturizer then I stir it together.
Once combined, I add 12grams of cornflour. In this case, I will add cornflour
until I get a loose but thick mixture. Once achieved, it's into the
microwave for 10 seconds. If I was making a bigger batch I might have to stir and repeat.
I don't want it too long in the microwave because I don't want to cook it.
Then I stir until it binds together, I pull it from the container, knead it with
a little moisturizer if necessary, add some colorful paint, then knead until it's uniform.
I put it into cling wrap or an airtight container and let it sit for 24 hours
and then it's done! This method is probably the most common
and the most user-friendly. It's good for structures because it's well stuck
together, but if it's overheated or it hasn't rested for 24 hours it can be
springy and have binding issues. Next!
and number one the plasticized way
For this, I need PVA glue, ordinary moisturizer, baby oil, cornflour, some paint for color
and soap-bar particulate. If you don't know how to make soap bar particulate
please check out my other videos on how to make plasticine substitute. First I
put 1.25 mL of baby oil into a Pyrex jug, I add 1.5 grams of soap-bar
particulate and stir it, I put 20mL of PVA glue and stir it, then I add part of
the 17.5 grams of cornflour and stir again when I can see it's
starting to blend together, I add some colorful paint and stir it, I add the
remainder of the cornflour and stir again, when the mixture is sticking more
to the stirring rod and the glass, I use a spatula to remove it. I powder my hands
then I knead the mixture and that's it, it's done, into the cling wrap or a
container. This method is probably my favorite due to its properties, it's an
ultra smooth like plasticine texture that bonds to itself easily. I don't have to
wait 24 hours and I can use it straight away unlike the heated way. It's self smoothes like
the slime way, but it doesn't snap. It's just right for me, and if somebody
makes it, their recipe depends on their materials and what is safe for them.

or you would like me to make something else, please drop a comment and remember guys
break it til you make it! and I'll see you next time.
