Sculpting Clay

There are two basic kinds of sculpting clay, Water
Based Clay and Oil Based Clay.
Water Based
Clay
Water based clay is simply that, clay mixed with
water. It is usually very inexpensive but must be kept covered or it
will dry out. Water based clay is easy to work when it has just the
right amount of water, which is easy to manipulate. It is easy to
remove from a mold with a water sprayer. Its disadvantages are equal to
its advantages; it is often hard to control especially if a project
goes into many days, it sags and separates easy, and it can't be used
with plastics, epoxies or polymers.
NOTE:
We no longer sell water based clay. It is easy to obtain locally at
your local art store and many craft stores. You can usually buy twice
as much for the price you would have to pay me for shipping it.
Oil Based Clay
Oil based clay is clay mixed with some kind of oil
or combinations of oil. It will not dry out, but it will oxidize over
time and become difficult to work. Sometimes you can manipulate the
consistency of the clay by mixing it with petroleum jelly, but this is
hard work. Some oil based clays like plastina contain sulfur and can't
be used with silicone molding compounds. Plastina can be sealed with a
coating of sealer or shellac but any coating of this type will take
away some of the character of the clay. We recommend and use an
industrial tooling clay which is easy to work and won't react with
silicones. Some oil based clays can be melted and poured into a mold.
Preheating oil based clay will soften it and make it easy to work. A
pound of Klean clay is about 3 3/4" x 7/8" x 5 3/8."

Modeling Clay
Sulfur free. Can be melted to a liquid and poured into a mold including
alginate. Unless you specify, a neutral color such as flesh, tan, grey
or the like will be shipped. Very soft. [Color
Code]

Modeling clay can be melted and poured into wet alginate. If you are
doing a life-cast and want a clay positive instead of a plaster
positive, then use this technique. Modeling clay can be melted in a
sauce pan. Yes, you can blend colors. No, the Klean clay does not melt
in this manner.

About Oven
Bake Polymer Clay

Sculpey III clay has the same excellent handling qualities of Sculpey
and Super Sculpey, combined with the dimension of color. It bakes to
hardness in a 275 degree Fahrenheit oven in 15 to 20 minutes. A finish
can be applied with Sculpey Glaze in either gloss or matte. Sculpey III
is an excellent medium for jewelry, maquettes and miniatures. Once
baked, its hardness makes it great for making a two-part silicone mold.
The bars are small so pay attention to the 2 oz (56g) size. Dimensions
of each bar are about 1 3/4" x 3/4" x 2 1/4"
