{"product_id":"van-aken-kato-blackout","title":"KATO Blackout","description":"\u003cp\u003ePolymer clay scraps accumulate fast, awkward color mixes, trimmed edges, practice pieces that didn't work out. KATO Blackout transforms all of it into usable black clay rather than letting waste pile up in your studio. This conditioning agent works through any polymer clay regardless of brand or age, breaking down hardened scraps while simultaneously tinting everything to a consistent black. The result cures strong and flexible, performing identically to fresh clay straight from the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process is straightforward: blend Blackout with your scraps, condition until uniform, then use the reclaimed clay for anything that benefits from a black base. Sculptors use it for armatures and internal structures. Jewelry makers create dramatic backgrounds and bezels. Mixed media artists build textured foundations. Because it genuinely restores workability rather than just masking old clay's stiffness, you're not compromising on performance, you're simply converting unusable material into something functional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOven-hardening means it integrates seamlessly with your existing polymer clay workflow. No special curing requirements, no compatibility issues with other clays. Turn studio waste into working material and keep creating.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Aken","offers":[{"title":"1 lb.","offer_id":47974094602469,"sku":"30707","price":12.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s30707.jpg?v=1770300514","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/van-aken-kato-blackout","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
