Technically you can use any clay on this, but for the purpose of casting you would probably want to use an oil based clay like Monster Clay, J-Mac, or Chavant. How much clay is up to you and depends on what you're sculpting, but you could probably get away with using a single 5lb tub of Monster Clay, a single 10lb slab of J-Mac, or a 1/4 case of Chavant. And yes, the skull is life size.

Firstly...Why? Secondly... all this stuff is, is a layer or rubbery tar stuff and a layer of aluminum foil. As long as you get it to stick good I assume it should be very oil resistant.

I've only used the green clay, so it's the one I can vouch for. Not familiar with the other one. The green clay is beneficial for oily skin and large pores, if that's helpful.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

In my research prior to purchasing this VitaClay Rice Cooker, the clay they use is safe and free of harmful chemicals...this was the selling feature I was looking for. A general question of "is clay as safe as ceramic" has to be broken down into what type of clay are you comparing to ceramic. The clay that is used in this product is as safe as typical ceramic used in today's kitchen.

I use it as often as I want. Every morning, if I feel like it and have the time. I usually put on a fairly thin layer as I don't feel it necessary to have a quarter inch of mud on my face. I mostly drink about a half teaspoon twice a day, or so. I guess you can use quite a bit more (as per the instructions on the Pure Clay website), but I don't.

I just ordered my 2nd package. The first one has lasted at least a year. You don't really use that much. I wet the sponge, run it through the clay and start polishing. It does not pick up a large amount of product.

GREAT! Holds it for more than enough time, just be careful about overheating. It can pop the cover making the clay leak. Also can affect the integrity of the clay when it gets too got. Makes it too hard and doesn't mold well when cold.

I too wondered about this, and after some searching found what may be the best quality edible clay blend of all for about $9 per pound at Greenclays dot com. They also have the same identical edible clay as Pure Clay for under $4 per pound (compare to Pure Clay at nearly $25 per pound).

Bah humbug to these alarmists. I use it in a metal bowl, and mix it with a metal spoon. WTF are they worried will happen? Nothing has, in my case. They don't seem to actually even know what the problems are with using metal to mix the clay. It's simply something they "heard". Don't be a wimp. I might even throw in some bleach too, just to kick it up a notch. Oh, and some ghost peppers. And some eye of newt too.

I saved one of the large Vaseline containers (14oz I think) to mix the following: 7.5 oz of petroleum jelly with 2 oz castor oil and 4 tablespoons zinc oxide powder. Mix with plastic spoon or knife so you can throw it away after. It's makes a really good consistency ointment, and I add 3 drops each of rosemary, lavender and/or chamomile essential oil. Very soothing and smells great.

Hi Rebecca. I don't know..and I don't know if there are different types of 'Kaolin' clay. I'd research it. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

It sucks the oil up into the clay of the egg, so I'd guess you could only use one type of scent if you decided to do that. Otherwise, you'd be mixing scents.

I used a 55 Gal. oil drum. Thicker would be better but I don't know of any.

Yes you can. But I think if you add too much it will make the clay to dry and it will make it crumble.

I'm not sure what kind of clay you have but mine is in partical red clay and it seems to be working fine for me. I have two dogs and I haven't had any problems with it.
