Y2-KLAY
TM
Y2-Klay
TM
is:
LIGHTWEIGHT
30-40% lighter relative to other industrial styling clays. Lower
weight reduces shipping costs on clay and on models. Clay
models are easier to move and handle.
Andrew Cawrse
SULFUR-FREE
Reduces potential corrosion of susceptible metals
and simplifies mold making.
LOW ODOR
Improves working environment.
EXCELLENT FOR MILLING
Clay fragments do not stick to milling bits.
The surface holds excellent detail and allows
for higher milling speeds, which reduces
milling time.
RESISTANT TO SHRINKING
AND CRACKING
Saves time repairing models and stabilizes
surface data.
WORKABLE AT 135F (57C)
Faster heating and a more comfortable
working range.

These tool blades are made from high tensile steel sheets, not wire. With this unique process, the blades are actually laser cut to a sharpened condition. Shapes are based on established configurations and custom designs. The
handles are injection molded, allowing the tool to be lightweight, solvent proof and very durable.

CLAY SURFACE
PREPARATION MATERIALS
Clay Modeling Film
Ford
DiNoc
Traditional surfacing film intended to be painted prior to
application to the clay model surface. After painting, the
material is cut to size and soaked in water to remove the
protective paper backing and expose the water-activated
adhesive. The film is stretched over the model surface and
can be removed after verification.
Timber Film
A burled wood grain material that is cut to size, soaked in
warm water to remove paper backing and applied to the
clay model surface. Available in light, medium
and dark (960mm x 728mm sheet).

EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS
Industrial Clay Modeling Videos/DVDs
Part 1: Introduction to Clay Modeling (90 minutes)
This highly recommended tape offers information on types of clay, clay tool usage,
clay ovens, armature construction, clay application, fillets, radii, compound curves
and surface finishing. A full-size, tear drop shaped concept vehicle is developed.
Part 3: Mold Making and FRP Preparation for Clay Models (70 minutes)
You have a clay model, now what? Several techniques for mold making from a clay
model are discussed including Rayite MDM, surface preparation for a Gel Coat
Class A finish and Polyester, Epoxy and Syntactic foam tooling.
Sculpting Videos
Sculpting Movie Monsters: Instructional video by
Mark Alfrey who sculpts two monsters. 52 minutes.
Also available on DVD.

S How much does clay weigh? Although different clays have different densities a good estimate is
90 pounds per cubic foot. See chart below.
S Can I mix different clays together? Concerns with mixing are color, reactions to rubber,
hard/soft areas and cohesion. Proceed with caution.
S How do I smooth the surface? Try water, WD-40, Goof-Off, turpentine, lighter fluid,
Avon Skin-So-Soft and multipurpose citrus-based solvents.
S Why is sulfur used in some of the clays? Sulfur is a non-toxic, filler that enhances the surface
texture of the clay.
S Why is sulfur removed from some of your clays? Sulfur-free formulas are generally easier to make
silicone or urethane rubber molds from.
