Application Tips
Please note, the Sinopia Clay Bole is thick out of the bottle and will need generous thinning with water until it reaches the consistency of cream. It is not recommend to mix the Sinopia Clay Bole directly with natural glues without first thinning the clay with water.
Available Sizes
Available in multiple quantities to accommodate both detail work and full-scale decorative projects.
