Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2021
DAS and Creative Paper Clay are stable when they dry. A sculpture will last indefinitely indoors. But reinforced clay dries much faster, so your working time is limited. If your project demands a lot of time, then neither this nor CPC is the clay for you.
Both DAS and CPC produce a dried sculpt resembling balsa wood, kind of between cardboard and wood. Of the two, DAS shows no appreciable shrinkage whereas CPC does shrink some. DAS seems keeps better than CPC and DAS is about half the price. But DAS is a little stiffer than CPC, though not significantly. DAS has a pleasant odor, like leather, and the clay is kind of like working with leather in clay form.
Overall, for small projects, this is a great clay for the money.
*Note: it can be oven dried, dont go to much over 200°_ 30 minutes , or it can bloat and get brown ( burnt edges )

I have a feeling this product is more geared to someone who has reasonable experience with other types of media, such as clay, cold porcelain, etc. Using this for me was tricky. I found that I needed to moisten the product many times to get it to a consistency to be able to manipulate it. It's helpful if you have a knife or other tool to shear off what amount you need as the Das is a bit hard to just pull pieces off. It has an unadulterated consistency that is reminiscent of paper mache' that is very compact and does not contain much moisture,.
One aspect I am not sure of is how you can obtain a smooth surface with this when molding, etc. My test project while moist had faults and lines through it. My second project was to use the Das clay to mold a positive to use as a base. For this, as I had found my test piece, though it dried hard, was not as hard as I had hoped for. To aid this I mixed PVA glue into the clay before pressing it into the mold.
It dried much harder but it still had creasing and such, which for this project was fine. The biggest positive of using Das is that you can sand it and paint it with relative ease after it has dried. One thing to note, if you are using it in a mold, it can take many days to fully dry, and pulling it from the mold can be tricky without messing up parts that are still moist.
Overall this is a useful product, isn't priced in such a way as to be prohibitive for someone who has never used it to give it a try. In skilled hands, I am sure this delivers end results as shown on the packaging. But if you are a novice like myself, you may want to work up to sculpting with Das.
