Crayola® Air-Dry Clay se puede sellar una vez que su pieza esté completamente seca después de 72 horas. Una vez seco, sugerimos utilizar un barniz acrílico. Asegúrese de probar su compatibilidad con el barniz antes de aplicarlo a una pieza terminada.
Sellar su trabajo no lo impermeabilizará. La exposición al agua y a los elementos exteriores tendrá un efecto negativo en la arcilla seca al aire, por lo que recomendamos exhibir su escultura en el interior.

Yes, Crayola® Model Magic® pieces can be sealed once they are completely dry. The drying time for Model Magic generally takes 24 hours to dry to the touch and 72 hours (about 3 days) to dry completely.
How to seal dried Model Magic sculptures:
- Apply a thin layer of acrylic varnish to a test sample to check for compatibility before using it on the finished piece.
- If the varnish is compatible, apply an even coat over the entire sculpture.
- Allow the varnish to dry completely before handling your masterpiece.
Important Note: Sealing your work will not make it waterproof. Exposure to water and outdoor elements will negatively affect Model Magic, so it is best to display your sculpture indoors.

There are several reasons why a sculpture made with Crayola® may have cracked.
- Forming the Air-Dry Clay around a rigid support or armature is not recommended. The clay gradually constricts as it dries, and the rigid piece remains the same size. This can result in the clay cracking. If you feel an armature is necessary, it is best to choose one that allows a small amount of give, such as crumpled aluminum foil.
- Water can be added to air-dry clay to soften or join pieces. However, too much water may result in cracking as the clay dries. If too much water is added, making the clay very soft, allow the excess water to evaporate before molding pieces.
- Air-Dry Clay pieces should be at least 1/4 inch in thickness. If the item you created is too thin, cracking may occur.

Depending on the size of the decorative objects, we recommend using white school glue, Crazy Glue, or Gorilla Glue to adhere objects like stones, beads, glitter, moss, etc., to thoroughly dry Crayola® Air-Dry Clay pieces.
To attach a piece of Air-Dry Clay to wood, an adult should roughly sand the wood where the clay is to be placed. Once the clay has thoroughly dried, use a small amount of white school glue, Crazy Glue, or Gorilla Glue to adhere the Air-Dry Clay to the wood surface.
