Sculpting
Foam ...
|
This
lightweight foam is perfect for sculpting and stamping and adds a new
dimension to your pages. Sculpting foam can be dyed with re-inker,
stamped wet or dry, and comes in a re-sealable, air-tight jar.
Tips for using
Sculpting Foam
-
When using a
new container of Sculpting Foam, work foam around in hands to remove
air bubbles. If foam is sticky or difficult to work with, spread into
a thin layer and allow it to sit exposed to the air 5 to 10 minutes
or until desired consistency.
-
Sculpting Foam
has a soft foam-like feel that is very easy to work with and rolls
out nicely using a rolling pin or any long, round object.
-
Stamp an
un-inked image into your Sculpting Foam - the impressions hold their
shape very well. Painting over the stamped image with a waterbrush
and re-inker will give it a more dimensional look.
-
When stamping
with ink on moist Sculpting Foam, use caution as the ink may bleed slightly.
-
A stamped
image applied to dry Sculpting Foam may require 1-2 minutes to air dry.
-
You can dye
your Sculpting Foam a different color using re-inker. Once dry, the
color may change slightly. (Caution: Only add a couple of drops of
re-inker at a time as too much ink will cause the clay to become
sticky. Should this happen, allow clay to dry for some time until
stickiness disappears and desired consistency is achieved. Playing
with the clay during this time or spreading clay to a thin layer will
help speed up the drying process.)
-
Sculpting Foam
may change shape slightly as it dries.
-
Cutting
Sculpting Foam with scissors is not recommended if clay is extremely
moist. Once clay is worked and becomes drier, scissors or a cutting
knife can be used.
-
Heat embossing
will not speed up the drying process. Sculpting Foam will bubble
similar to Liquid Appliqué.
-
Drying time
varies depending on the thickness and moisture of Sculpting Foam and
the climate.
-
Should
Sculpting Foam become too dry but is still pliable, try rewetting it
with a small amount of water or re-inker. |
