If you love DIY crafts or you’re just starting, Fevicryl Mouldit Clay is one of the easiest materials to work with in India. I’ve used it for small figurines, nameplates, fridge magnets, and even jewellery bases—and the best part is you don’t need a kiln or oven. In this guide, I’ll walk you through exactly how to use Fevicryl Mouldit clay, step by step, with tips that save time and prevent cracks.

What Is Fevicryl Mouldit Clay?

Fevicryl Mouldit is a two-part epoxy modelling clay:

• Part A (Resin)

• Part B (Hardener)

When mixed in equal amounts, the clay becomes soft and workable. After curing, it turns rock-hard, durable, and paint-ready—ideal for Indian weather and home craft setups.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

• Fevicryl Mouldit (Part A & B)

• A clean work surface (tile or plastic sheet)

• A little water or petroleum jelly

• Toothpicks or simple sculpting tools

• Acrylic paints (after drying)

• Clear varnish (optional, for shine & protection)

Step-by-Step: How to Use Fevicryl Mouldit Clay

Step 1: Take Equal Quantities

Always take equal amounts of Part A and Part B.
Tip: Roll both into the same-size balls before mixing—this avoids curing problems.

Step 2: Mix Properly

Knead both parts together using your fingers until the colour becomes uniform with no streaks.
This takes about 2–3 minutes. If it feels sticky, lightly wet your fingers.

Step 3: Start Shaping (Work Time)

Once mixed, you have 60–90 minutes of working time.

• Roll, pinch, press, or mould as needed

• Add textures using toothpicks or tools

• Join parts by lightly wetting the surface

Step 4: Add Details Carefully

For fine details:

• Work slowly

• Keep fingers slightly moist

• Support thin parts so they don’t droop

Step 5: Leave It to Dry Naturally

Place your piece in a dust-free area.

• Initial set: 3–4 hours

• Complete curing: 24 hours

Do not use a fan, sunlight, or heat to speed up drying.

After Drying: Painting & Finishing

Painting Your Mouldit Creation

Once fully cured:

• Lightly sand rough edges

• Paint with Fevicryl acrylic colours

• Use thin layers for the best finish

Sealing (Optional but Recommended)

Apply a clear varnish to:

• Add shine or matte finish

• Protect from dust and moisture

• Increase durability (useful in the Indian climate)

Safety Tips You Should Follow

• Always mix with clean hands

• Avoid touching your eyes while working

• Wash your hands properly after use

• Keep away from very young children

• Do not ingest or use for food items

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Unequal mixing of Part A & B

• Overworking after it starts hardening

• Drying under direct sunlight

• Painting before full curing

I made these mistakes early on—and trust me, fixing cracks later is harder than doing it right the first time.
