Review on Sargent Art Plastilina Non-hardening Modeling Clay: 5 lb White Clay for Creative Projects by Lori Aguirre

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as expected, important information is missing from the description.

This product was recommended to me to help create 3D models. In this capacity, this article works. What deeply disappointed me was the lack of mention of the differences in properties between traditional plasticine and this material. First, this stuff smells like vanilla. At first I thought it would be a pleasant surprise, but after using it for a while I couldn't help but feel nauseous and have a headache. The scent is too strong and easily penetrates your hands and surfaces, making it almost impossible to remove the smell even long after the last use. The second big problem is that this material is very sticky. Clay is very difficult to keep in a single mass because it sticks to everything. When I try to make a ball in my hand it breaks apart when I try to rip my hand off. Once you've managed to clean the surface, you're still left with a sticky, oily surface that can't be cleaned without some kind of petroleum-based cleaner. .I don't know what they did wrong here, but I can't remember ever having such a bad experience with clay.

Pros
  • Never hardens or dries out
Cons
  • Some bugs
