Paper Mache formula.docx. Paper Mache Clay. Several years ago I developed a new recipe for a sculptural material I call “paper mache clay.”

Paper Mache Clay

This material is so easy to use and so easy to make that I now use it exclusively for all my paper mache sculptures. The recipe has now gone “viral” and is being used by artists all over the world. It might be a bit more accurate to call this material “home-made air-dried cellulose-reinforced polymer clay,” but that’s way too hard to say (or type!) , so for now, let’s just call it paper mache clay. The first video below shows how to make the paper mache clay, and the second video answers some common questions that I’ve received from readers since I first developed this recipe. I usually make mine fairly thin so it can be spread over an armature like frosting, by using less flour than the recipe calls for – but you can also make it thicker, with more flour, when you want more control over the modeling process.

Piano wire sizes. K&J Magnetics - Magnetization Direction. Magnetization Direction for Neodymium Magnets Discs & Cylinders Disc and Cylinder magnets can be axially or diametrically magnetized.

K&J Magnetics - Magnetization Direction

Diametrically Magnetized Examples include D82DIA and D48DIA. Blocks Block magnets are defined by three dimensions: Length, Width and Thickness. We're sometimes asked if we can provide block magnets magnetized through the length or width. Rings Ring magnets can be axially or diametrically magnetized. Spheres Spheres can only be axially magnetized. Mounting Magnets Round Mounting Magnets are assembled with an axially magnetized disc or ring magnet set inside a steel cup. Our Rectangular Mounting Magnets are constructed in a similar fashion.

Arc Segments Arc Segment magnets can be magnetized in one of four directions. Magnetized through Circumference One example is the AY0X030-C. Magnetized through Thickness. K&J Magnetics - Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet Information. Magnet Terminology The terminology of magnetics is not widely understood.

K&J Magnetics - Neodymium Rare Earth Magnet Information

You can find definitions of most terms on our Glossary of Magnet Terminology Page. Rare Earth Neodymium magnets are a member of the Rare Earth magnet family and are the most powerful permanent magnets in the world. They are also referred to as NdFeB magnets, or NIB, because they are composed mainly of Neodymium (Nd), Iron (Fe) and Boron (B). Grades of Neodymium N35, N38, N42, N38SH...what does it all mean? Specifications of Neodymium Magnets If you need detailed information about the physical and thermal properties of neodymium magnetic materials, you can find it on our Specifications of Neodymium Magnets Page. Platings/Coatings Neodymium magnets are a composition of mostly Neodymium, Iron and Boron.

Machining Neodymium material is brittle and prone to chipping and cracking, so it does not machine well by conventional methods. Demagnetization Strength The potential uses for strong neodymium magnets are unlimited! K&J Magnetics - Products. K&J Magnetics - Products. K&J Magnetics - Products. K&J Magnetics - Products.
