You don't bake air dry clay...so, no problem!
you can with polymer clay but not with air dry or other kinds
you buy air dry clay and it drys in 10 secs by air
Clay is pretty waterproof already, but to make it truly so, dry it and bake a glaze on it inside and out.
Air dry or kiln depending on the clay type
It will really depend on the type of clay that you have. Some non drying clays may become hardened if you bake it. However if it is modeling clay it will be impossible to dry it.
I would suggest any air dry clay because with polymer clay you would need to bake it and use tls instead of glue. You will need to wait longer for your decoden piece to dry but it's much safer than putting the thing you are goin to decoden in the oven.
you cannot bake ordinary plasticene clay. what make is the clay? if it is Fimo or Sculpey you can bake it, otherwise be careful or you will end up with toxic fumes! you can also buy clay called Darwi which dries hard in 24 hours .
It can be if you just believe it can. Magical mind powers.
Both types of clay are the same. You can use both types of clay to create things. I looked into this and found out that both dry up after a while if you want it to. If you want to paint the clay after it is dry is sort of a mystery to me. I absolutely know that after the crayola air dry clay drys you can definitely paint it. With other types of modeling clay, I am not so sure. I hope this helps.
It is not recommended to mix air dry clay and polymer clay together as they have different properties and curing methods. Air dry clay dries by exposure to air, while polymer clay requires heat to cure properly. Mixing them may result in uneven drying and potential breakage of the final project. It is best to use them separately for best results.
you have to put water salt and flour and then bake at 365 degrees or microwaze for 7 to8 min.
