Lumina Clay
Hi all,
I've recently come across this product called "Lumina clay" that is advertised as an "air dry polymer" - has anyone tried this? It's available through only a couple of sources here in the US and I suspect it is manufactured by Padico who also make La Doll and many other air dry clays... The little info I could find compares it in workability, strength, and looks to regular heat set polymer clays. I ordered some but it has not arrived from Hawaii yet :/ Anyway, if any of you have experience with this, I have some questions: I'm very interested in the fact that Lumina can be mixed with oil paint while wet - does that mean that it is a mineral spirit rather than water based clay? It is called a "polymer" clay but does not require heating to cure, does that mean that it is a PVA rather than PVC formula? I am very concerned with using the plastisizer chemicals found in regular heat set polymer clays - does Lumina contain any of those chemicals? I'm interested in using it to carve miniature items instead of using wood - how does it respond to regular carving tools? Is the texture of the dry clay comparable to a cured heat set polymer? Thanks for your time, Christine |
