To view my current monster
To view my current monster clay project visit: Facebook: CaesarYanez.Sculpture.ClayToBronze or to purchase monster clay visit: http://www.afasupplies.com/clay/monst... . This video will show you the process and makes some recommendations on which solvents to use in order to obtain a professional looking sculpture when using an oil-based clay like Monster Clay or Chavant Clay. To fast forward to the good parts, I recommend first using odorless mineral spirits to semi-finish the clay sculpture and then revisit the sculpture after the mineral spirits have evaporated and the sculpture is dry to the touch with denatured alcohol. Hands down I obtained better results with the denatured alcohol, which I was surprised since isopropyl myristate is recommended by the monster clay site. The painters gloves seen in the video are Disposable Nitrile Gloves purchased at home depot.
What is mineral spirits?
Mineral spirits or paint thinner… which is better? For cleaning brushes, paint thinner is best since it's half the cost of mineral spirits and basically works the same. Other than the price, the differences between the two solvents are subtle:
• Both are petroleum products.
• Both can be used to thin oil-based paints and varnishes and to clean paintbrushes.
• Paint thinner is mineral spirits, but in a less refined form. It contains other types of solvents, which makes it a lot smellier and more volatile.
• Mineral spirits is not as stinky. Because it's more refined, it's slightly more effective in smaller quantities than paint thinner.
No matter which solvent you choose, use it in a well-ventilated space and observe proper safety precautions.
What is Turpenoid?
Odorless Turpenoid is a premium turpentine substitute. Evaporates easily at normal temperatures it is thin, and colorless, it possesses the same painting properties and drying time as turpentine — without the strong odor. Many artists use it for their oil colors and varnishes.
What is denatured alcohol?
Denatured alcohol, also called methylated spirits or denatured rectified spirit, is ethanol that has additives to make it poisonous, bad tasting, foul smelling or nauseating, to discourage recreational consumption. ... Denatured alcohol is used as a solvent and as fuel for alcohol burners and camping stoves.
What is Isopropyl Myristate?
A very gentle, oil based make-up remover which will remove many types of make-up including (pax) pros-aide. Isopropyl Myristate (pronounced meer-is-tate) is also a fantastic, no-odor (non-toxic solvent for Monster Clay. It tends to dry a little slower than other solvents like Mineral Spirits, but it dissolves the clay very aggressively and is a great smoothing agent. Use sparingly with a soft brush and move on to different areas while the solvent evaporates. For polishing Monster Clay to a glass-like surface, start with a smooth area like top of a head. Apply a small amount of myristate to a clean paper toweling and rub in a circular fashion until the clay takes on a shiny surface. USE SPARINGLY! Moreover, Isopropyl myristate is a polar emollient and is used in cosmetic and topical medicinal preparations where good absorption into the skin is desired. Isopropyl myristate is being studied as a skin enhancer. It is also used as a pesticide against head lice which works by dissolving the wax that covers the exoskeleton of head lice, killing them by dehydration.
