Claytex

This is fi lling material that can replace plaster.  Its fi rst hardening is faster than plaster and it is easier to form a shape. It is also simple to use, namely, by mixing it with water, you can easily form a shape. Its color is gray, which is convenient to restore Sue ware. In comparison with plaster, Claytex has less dripping and therefore, wastes less. The time needed for its fi rst hardening is fast like 10 to 20 minutes. Once hardened, you can color it by acryl paints. Since it does not contract much, Claytex has superior strength of bonding with artifacts and so hardened Claytex bonded with artifacts does not come off . Cracking due to aging is also rare.

Precautions for using Mako

When you first use Mako, you may feel that the movement of the bamboo blades are not so smooth due to the strong friction between them. It may be a little difficult to use in the beginning, but you will feel more comfortable to use each time.

The bamboo blades will become smoother as they dry out, but they will also loosen against the frame. In this case, please insert additional bamboo blades little by little from both ends.
