Description
We carry two of the most popular water based clays made by Laguna Clay Company,
WED CLAY
WED clay is very popular among fx artists and mask makers. It was developed decades ago for Walter E. Disney, hence the name. Also know as EM 217, WED has become quite popular in the film industry for creating large detailed sculptures. Although it is a water based clay, WED clay dries more slowly due its formula which includes glycerin and has many of the same sculpting qualities of oil based clay. WED requires a spray bottle of water for maintaining moisture and for smoothing. Can be used for mask sculptures as well. WED clay is not considered reuseable. Choose from 25 or 50 lbs.
INSIDER TIP: Beat the dreaded clay cleanup post demold by sealing your sculpt with Crystal Clear prior to molding! The Crystal Clear creates a barrier between the gypsum making it far easier to demold. For added release, add a light coat of Lemon Pledge or Endust to your sculpture and let it dry for an hour before making your mold.
WHITE CLAY
This is a water based clay recommended for use in making dividing walls for plaster and stone molds. EM-210 is very soft and easy to work with. It smooths easily with water. Perfect for making the dividing walls for two piece mask molds. Choose from 25 or 50 lbs.
