sculpting clay

[cougar184]

what type of clay am i going to want to use if im casting in either in resin or fiberglass??

 

[STEALTH]

the casting materials you're planning on using are irrelevant to the clay type.

you don't cast on the sculpt. You have to mold the sculpt first.

I think you should be concerned with the molding material you're going to use and how it reacts to the clay types.

If you want to make duplicates out of fiberglass or resin you need to paint your sculpt with rebound25 1/4 inch thick then cover it with plasti paste. Really should watch some smoothon guts. Just go to smoothon.com

Make sure that what ever clay you use for your sculpt doesnt contain sulfer. It wont work well with the silicon in the rebound25.

does anyone have a recommendation on where and what type of clay I should start with. I have someone to do the molding and casting for me.... sounds like I should not get anything with sulfer

Chavant is always a good choice, chavant NSP medium (oil based) is a nice one to use or WED clay if you want to go water based (useful for bigger pieces)

Oh, I can be useful for once rather than just lurking.
