Lucky2 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 lolol Kev, is that your belly showing in the last photo? The sign looks fantastic with the playdoh infill, does it harden over time or what? I didn't think it was any good to use as an infill, simply due to the shrinkage problems and how long it takes to set up. Len Quote
lawson56 Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 Kevin it looks Fantastic! :thumbs: But I have to ask the same questions as Ken. Quote
Falcon Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 Looks great! I would be curious about the playdoh also. Quote
DWSUDEKUM Posted September 6, 2015 Report Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Nice Kevin. Interesting use of Play-doh. Might have to use that polymer clay and bake it for a bit to harden and do the same thing. Thanks for sharing this with us. DW I did google play-doh hardening. They say that it will harden if left out as it will air dry but that it would be brittle and would soften again if it got wet. So I am wondering that if you sun dryed it - being as you are in Florida then top coated it with say shellac or varnish then it should do the trick nicely.

Len No Len, that's my pet pot belly pig,we both have the same name ,coincidence,lol :rofl: :rofl: The playdoh is supposed to go in the oven which i don't have so I'm winging it on the first one to see whats going to happen.I sealed the back with glue and maybe if i seal the front with clear it won't shrink.Time will tell.I like short cuts!

amazingkevin Posted September 6, 2015 Author Report Posted September 6, 2015 Kevin it looks Fantastic! :thumbs: But I have to ask the same questions as Ken. Bobby i think if i seal both sides of the playdoh it might not shrink???? :oops: :oops: :oops: Quote

Kevin that is what I was cutting in "NUTS" you did real good on your cut. What size ( length & width ) is your cutting? Did you enlarge the pattern? amazingkevin 1 Quote

wombatie Posted September 7, 2015 Report Posted September 7, 2015 Hhmmmmm interesting idea, but I would be more inclined to use polymer clay because I know that works but as this is an experiment, go for it. Marg amazingkevin 1 Quote
