Hello. Can I combine the following materials? air drying modelling clay (FIMO air) UHU extra ALL Purpose Adhesive Humbrol enamel paint + gloss varnish Regards, Karl |

If the Fimo is thoroughly dry it would probably work but water in the clay would prevent the adhesive & paint bonding to the porous surface. Personally I'd use PVA & craft acrylics. |

I've only used Das air drying clay but that responded well to both PVA and aerosol car primer followed by traditional Humbrol (this was 3 decades ago…). Didn't use Uhu, mind you. John T |

Thanks for the help! I did a test with UHU and Humbrol Enamel paint and it worked fine. But in the end I used Milliput (yellow-grey) to "glue" different pieces of clay together. Cheers,
