How Does Cement Clay Work?

Pal Tiya Premium cement clay is applied and sculpted by hand, just like traditional clay. Once your sculpture is complete, you keep it damp for approximately 5 days to allow initial curing. Full strength is reached after approximately 28 days. The result is a hard, weatherproof, concrete-like finish that is built to last outdoors.
