OP = Original Poster (ReptiWorld) I just forgot your name when I was typing lol

And just for some added insight. Now that my clay background has been sitting for almost a week it has started to cure. Curing does not mean that it has dried, it just means that the clay is setting and bonding with itself better then when freshly mixed. I noticed that it was a lot tougher when I removed my driftwood last night, yet still fully moist and malleable.

I also noticed that the cured clay will not absorb water and break down as fast. I may try another quick experiment by making a pyramid, then once it has cured, drip water over it for a few days to see how well it withstands heavy moisture.

(I'll post this directly in my build thread aswell so all my info is together)

alright, when i get the time, i''ll try using my crayola air dry clay, (recipe for disaster!)

I thought the clay backgrounds were supposed to dry like within a few hours? You mean I would have to wait a week before it cures completely?

Andry,

The best advice I can give you is to go back and read all the clay threads you can find, both here and over at dendroboard.com - one very good one is here: The ultimate clay thread.

Thanks!
