Salt Dough and Pony customs?

[sd_dreamcrystal]

hey guys, I was wondering has anyone tried to use salt dough on ponies as to make sculpted parts like flowers and such? Since salt dough can air dry and is easy to make I wanted to try it but not sure if it would even stick on a pony... especially a G4

I wouldn't use it.. That stuff tends to break fairly easy, and you wouldn't be able to sand it very well. For no bake clay, I prefer Apoxie.

I know what you mean, Maniah, but I can't work fast enough for the apoxie and I can't use super sculpty for it either x.x

I wouldn't think it would really dry smooth enough myself.

Hmmm I probably should try it on a fakie first. I was only planning on doing small flowers or something. Even doing flowers in apoxie is meh because it picks up all the dust and start becoming harder to work with not even within an hour :/ I was hoping the salt dough would work better for what I wanted

If your having trouble with apoxie you can mix lotion with it. It softens it up and makes it less sticky and extends the drying/setting time by at least an hour. You can also try Miliput. This stuff works pretty well. Fimo soft isn't an air dry, but it works pretty well and bakes at a lower temp.

Maybe you ould try cold porcelain? It shrinks a bit as it dries, but for things like flowers that shouldn't make a huge diference.
