How to prepare plastic

The molding from plasticity, plasticine or clay allows to express in shape your imaginations, this fascinating hobby for adults and the developing classes for children. However today quality materials cost expensive, and there is a wish to keep hand-made articles for a long time. Not to limit itself, prepare plasticity for a molding independently.

It is required to you

  • - starch;
  • - PVA glue;
  • - toothpaste;
  • - water;
  • - mixer;
  • - salt;
  • - flour;
  • - dyes;
  • - vegetable oil;
  • - dry wallpaper glue;
  • - fat glue;
  • - clay.

Instruction

1. To prepare the weight almost similar to plasticity for a molding or the modeling paste, buy starch, PVA glue and toothpaste. Take 10 tablespoons of each component (it is possible to take any quantity, the main thing that everything was in equal proportions) and carefully mix mix in the mixer.

2. To give to paste color, add dye. If mix seems to you too dense or badly mixes up, add a little water. It is necessary to mold from such plastic pretty fast as in 20 minutes it begins to stiffen.

3. If you have children, make safe plasticine with own hands. For this purpose take 400 grams of flour, 200 grams of salt and 30 grams of alum (Alaun) in order that mix thickened. Carefully mix all components in the mixer that mixture became homogenous. Then, continuing to mix, add 0.5 liters of hot water (80-90C).

4. That mix did not stick to hands, put a tablespoon of vegetable oil, dry wallpaper glue or fat cream in mix and mix a shovel. You store such self-made plastic in a plastic bag without air access, in the fridge.

5. To make plasticine multi-colored, divide weight into several parts and add to each part food coloring so that to give a bright saturated shade.

6. It is possible to mold also from white weight. In that case after the product will be ready, dry up it in an oven at a temperature 80C within an hour or on the battery. Then paint a figure with gouache paints.

7. For a molding you can also use traditional and very widespread material – clay. Take it absolutely free of charge in any pit, for improvement of qualities you can take weight several months on air. To improve water-retaining abilities and to increase plasticity, add to clay vegetable oil (no more than 1/5 from the mass of clay).
