..does anyone have any idea what I could do to make that little guy solid enough to take it on a jump? Like a coating or something that keeps it all together? b/c right now arms and legs would immediately fall off if I tried... it's the cheap Crayola clay for kids....



I'm no authority on the subject but I'd assume it can't be "fired" and if it simply air dries, it'll get brittle. I doubt that using a polyurethane or laquer would work, without firing first. Either way, without a framework of some sort inside, I doubt he'd survive the exit. If you had access to vacuum molding equipment (someone into making models, maybe)...might be possible to encase him in a hard, clear shell. Not sure about some of the "epoxy" coatings.

ok this is getting too complicated. maybe I'll just put him in a plastic container.
