Review on Plastalina Modeling Clay Gray 4 🎨 1/2 lb. Bar: Versatile and Premium-Quality Sculpting Clay by Kelly Caballes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good reusable clay may need conditioning

I have been using Van Aken Plastalina to make jigs and molds for many years. A comment from new users is that these clays are often too dry and not pliable. Plasticine and Fimo often need conditioning before use, as they harden during storage. Plasticine, in particular, can be cut into strips and placed in a warm oven to soften (the packaging specifically says "melts at about 150 degrees Fahrenheit"). And like polymer clay, if it's too dry, you can add a few drops of unscented baby oil (or ready-made clay softener) and knead it. Voila - good working sound again.

Pros
  • . Known for its smooth consistency and vibrant colors. This clay has been used in many award winning clay sculpting productions. It is favored by sculptors, model makers, animators and artists of all ages.
Cons
  • Something else
