Modeling clay Staedtler FIMOair Granite Effect 350 g Grey

FIMOair Granite Effect 350 g in Grey is an air-drying modeling clay formulated for adult craft and modeling projects where a natural stone or granite appearance is desired. This grey modeling mass comes ready to use out of the polybag and sets at room temperature without baking, offering a convenient material for making textured sculptures, architectural models, decorative objects, and repairs that require a matte, stone-like finish.

Advantages

The clay provides a realistic granite effect with a fine, slightly textured surface that accepts carving and sanding after drying. As an air-drying product, it removes the need for a kiln or oven and allows gradual work and reworking before the material hardens. The neutral grey tone is suitable for natural-looking pieces and can be painted or sealed after full curing to increase durability and water resistance.

Suitable for

• Small sculptures and figurines with stone-like surface
• Architectural and diorama details requiring realistic textures
• Home décor items such as coasters, plant pot decorations, and small tiles
• Model repairs and finishing where a granite appearance is preferred

How to use

Work the FIMOair Granite Effect grey modeling clay directly from the polybag; knead until soft and pliable to achieve an even texture. Shape and sculpt the piece as required, using carving tools or fingers to create the desired granite-like surface. Allow the item to dry at room temperature until fully cured; drying time depends on wall thickness and ambient conditions. Once completely dry, refine the surface with fine sandpaper if needed and apply paint, stain, or sealant according to the project requirements.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the thickness of pieces under 2 cm where possible to ensure even air drying. Store unused clay in an airtight container or reseal the original polybag to prevent drying out. When painting or sealing, use products compatible with air-dried clays and allow full curing before applying coatings.
