Introducing Taxidermy Clay from New Mexico Clay—a versatile, self-hardening sculpting medium perfect for detailed models and sculptures. This clay, reinforced with fiber, is ideal for use over an armature, maintaining its integrity even at thicknesses of up to 2 inches without cracking. It dries hard and paintable, though it is not waterproof. Taxidermy Clay excels in assembled sculpture projects. Create and thoroughly dry all parts before joining them with a slip made from the same clay. For secure bonding, roll out a thin coil of Taxidermy Clay, apply it and the slip to the surfaces, and press them together firmly. The clay's fiber content prevents rot, ensuring long-lasting durability. Commonly used by taxidermists, this clay is sculpted to define muscles, eye sockets, and ear bases on foam armatures, which are then covered with the animal's skin for a lifelike appearance. Non-toxic and easy to work with, Taxidermy Clay is the ideal choice for creating detailed and realistic models.
