I saw video of martha stewart doing a project with this clay, and to glue it to itself she said, "use craft glue." What kind of craft glue can I use?

I imagine she is referring to the white, tacky craft glue that is widely available. Just look for bottles marked craft glue.....there are many brands including Alene's and Martha Stewart's own brand. The clay is very light when fully dried, so you would not need anything stronger than craft glue.

I think so. I took a polymer clay class and the teacher used this to glue tiles onto a picture frame then baked it!!

Hi there. I would go to the craft store Michaels ( or online ) and get Goop or E-6000 Glue. Both should hold just fine. you would have to lay it flat to glue it and then use some masking tape to hold it in place until the glue dried. I always use either of these glues for many projects. They dry clear and work wonders. Use a toothpick to get off extra glue around the sides. Good luck to you and Happy New Year!

I purchased 'MASH' brand nail glue. This glue works super good!!! Just make sure you use just a little, cause a little goes a long way. Also my nail was breaking, I didn't want to lose my nail, so I decided to place just a dab of 'mash' glue, and it WORKED! I didn't want to have that odd short nail while the other nine where long a pretty :) Hope this works for you.... goodluck

the reason I use poly clay is because it doesn't harden like molding clay. It becomes firm, you can'f adjust shape, but it is plyable enough that it doesn't break if i drop it. It will break if you put too much pressure on it. A lot would depend on how fine of pieces are you making. If it i a long piece that is only 1/8 th inch it may not work..but if its a piece that is 1/2 inch or more I would think you won't have problems.

no,this model does`nt include glue! Personnaly, I use Tamiya cement which is a real good glue and also a fast glue. Good hobby!

I used bondo to repair a rotted floor sill on a shed. It is essentially body filler and since you mix small amounts with epoxy for each application using it for a school project as you suggest probably would be difficult and much harder than you probably need. I would use modeling clay.

Model glue won't work. You can use epoxy or super glue. Something like Gorilla Glue would also work.

Here is a little trick. Get a ziplock bag and put the clay in it and then add either the apple cider vinegar or the filtered water. Once you have it all in the bag then get the excess air out and then re seal the bag. Mash it around and since the clay is confined and cannot move around as much it makes it easier to mix. Please try it and come back and let us all know how it works for you if you get a chance. Hope this helps!

I used glue called The Original Super Glue. It's a gel...reminded me of Krazy Glue.

I used plasticine to sculpt a mask, then used the silicone to make a mold from it. It works fine, the smooth-on is a liquid so you pour it over the clay and let it dry. I had no problems with the 4 masks I did with it.

Hi Rita! This is a heat stick, no glue comes out at all. The glue is actually on the backside of the crystals that are made to be used with this tool - when you apply the hot tip to the crystal it melts the glue.

It will work in clay mold. I use monster clay, and and it molds fine with that. However making a clay model first then make a mother mold of it using Smooth-on. you can make multiple copies of the original. Oh and do not use any oil based clays.

This can only be used with HOT FIX rhinestones. HOT FIX rhinestones are rhinestones that already comes with dried glue at the back. This gun allows you to press on the rhinestone and melt the glue at the back, thereby "sticking" the rhinestone to the surface of the fabric, or whatever you are intending to embellish. No glue needed. Its like a precision IRON for rhinestones that ALREADY come with glue.

Mix it little by litter. Dont mix it at one go. However, I never used other liquids to mix the clay. I used the apple cider vinegar, so far so good.

I work in stoneware clay mostly. But have worked in Sculpty clay as well. How much of this to buy for your class depends on how many in the classroom? I would offer some advice about the white or terra cotta Sculpty clay and that is to buy their larger blocks or switch & try air dry clay. It can't be painted as when dry & adding paint, the wet paint will mix with the clay and make muted colors. It can be bought in White or terra cotta, the latter to which I would use. How much to buy of any clay or polymer has much to do with how many children in the class & the ages, due to hand size. I would buy a package and test it out on a student to see how much you will need for the entire class. Air Dry clay is sold at most craft stores or online like the Sculpty Clay is. You don't have to oven bake the air-dry clay. Hope I helped you some? ~Molly Martino

I used Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Glue. Just a tiny bit, and wipe away excess with a slightly damp rag before it dries.
