Product Description

- Easy to Shape
The texture of modeling clay is soft and malleable, and you can stretch and squeeze it into the shape you desire. People not only use it to make craft sculptures, but also use it to create drawings.
- Reusable and Long Shelf Life
Oil-based clay contains waxes and oily substances in its composition that keep the clay from drying out. You can use it countless times, whether it’s already in shape or not. When the clay becomes hard due to oxidation, you can use a hair dryer to heat it up and make it soft again.

- Drawbacks
Oil-based clay is flammable and should not be placed near fire. You can’t bake it at high temperatures either. Oil-based clay must be transported and stored away from sources of fire and direct sunlight.
Plus, it might smell a little bad and some people may not like it.
Another lightweight clay that offers all of the above benefits without being flammable. It’s called air-dry clay and is currently the leading alternative to oil-based clay.

Oil Based Modeling Clay
Modeling clay is made from oily materials, it is also called oily clay. The oil is not volatile at room temperature and it hardly dries out. You can use it repeatedly. Theoretically, the shelf life of oil-based clay is infinite, and it’s nearly impossible for it to go bad.
Oxidation may make the oil base clay harden, but you can heat it with a dryer to soften it again.
Air Dry Lightweight Clay
Air-dry clay is a lightweight clay that contains water in its composition, so it dries at room temperature. In an environment of 25℃, air-drying clay will dry and harden within 24 hours. So, when preserving air-dry clay we seal it to prevent its water from evaporating.
When the air-dry clay hardens, spray some water to revive it. However, if it dries out completely, it will not regain its softness.
