Coloring techniques
In-body coloring: add CMP acrylic color
to the still-moist clay to create a colored mixture with uniform, customized shades.
Surface coloring : Once dry, ReClay can be painted with CMP acrylic paint to enhance every detail with effects and nuances and define textures and contrasts.
Large size
ReClay’s lightness makes it suitable for large sculptures too. In such cases, a metalcore is recommended.
