Makin's is non-toxic, water based, and acid free when dry. The perfect air dry clay for maskmaking, it works great for adding feathers quickly and to adjust their positions easily. You have plenty of time to work and make changes before the clay hardens completely. The black color is better than white or other colors as the clay will be unnoticeable even when there are small gaps between the feathers. Unlike Model Magic, this product will dry hard, not spongy.

Rotating Display Turntables
These 2 speed rotating turntables are lightweight, and have a soft suede-like material on the turntable surface. The platform lifts off to reveal the motorized base, gears, and battery compartment as shown. All units use a standard "D" battery, which will operate the turntable continuously for up to two weeks. A small switch near the bottom of the base turns the unit on and off. The large white gear can be moved to the nearby post to change the speed from 4 RPM to 7 RPM. (The slower RPM is recommended for gourd display.) The largest size can accomodate several small gourds.

New! Introducing Apoxie Sculpt
Apoxie Sculpt is the toughest, strongest, sculpting clay you can use for your gourd projects. Unlike most air dry clays, large applications don't crack or shrink as the sculpting material dries, and the finished result is super hard and durable. (It's so strong that many gourders are using it as a "moldable glue" for attaching gourd pieces together. ) The cured material can be carved, sanded, painted or even turned on a lathe! Unlike polymer clays, this is a two part product that hardens after mixing - no baking is required.
Use this product when strength is important - you'll be amazed how strong even the smallest details are when they are made from Apoxie Sculpt.
NON hazardous, NON Flammable, NO fumes, user friendly clay!
$14.50 for a 1 lb kit
* Note - Due to the weight of this product, a small shipping surcharge has been added to the base price. If shipping charges are low, I will refund the surcharge.

Safety Solvent
Safety Solvent is recommended for smoothing, texturing, and clean up of Apoxie Sculpt (It even cleans dried sculpting material!) It is especially useful when working with black or bronze apoxie sculpt as it makes it much easier to clean up any residue.
