Question 1

Does anyone have experience with the Prima Plastilina clay?  Wondering how the two compare in working/holding details for casting?  Thanks!!

A.T.Lee, hi.  The "Monster Clay" is what I have sworn by for over 10yrs.  yes, the composition is the sister chemical to Plasticine, or commonly called C-4. (without the explosive dust). as well, it has been formulated with additives for molding, casting needs.  having a low melt point, it can be brushed, or spread as a liquid, or spatula'd as a solid clay when cooled. very workable when warm.  when I finish my sculpts, "to retain detail", I will actually Chill my work (The Monster Clay) in the fridge overnight, or soak in very cold water. this will turn it into a Plastic, hard, Moldable piece.  some molding materials have a degree of heat they produce when curing.  in most, if not all applications, there is no need for a release agent, although I prefer to use a very light dusting of cooking spray to save the sculpt from de-molding damage. as well, this stuff can be used ..Indefinently !!!  I am the proud owner of over 100lbs. of this stuff, & will not use anything else. one last thing, I also use this as my Mold-Wall dividing clay. having the chilled sculpt piece, building the mold wall with M.C., (at room temp, pliable, warm ), it will literally leave hardly no seam line at all on the sculpt.  Hope this Helps in your search, & good luck in your projects.Sincerely,  TM. Walters / EPS.

Question 2

its pretty big then?can you sculpt a head free hand with this?will it harden if left out or will it stay soft?is it the brown shade

Accepted Answer

Its not HUGE but its around medium size tub. you can scult a head hands free, but you have to heat it up. it comes in a tub and right out of the box it is hard but not dried out hard, just hard. microwave for 20 seconds and it will be moldable like air dry clay. leaving it out will just get hard like before, a little heat will soften it up again. yes it is brown.

Question 3

can you use this right out of the package?can you start sculpting right when you take this out of the tub?

Accepted Answer

You can absolutely work with it right out of the package. It does NOT have to be warmed up or heated. The heat from your hands will soften it considerably after just a few minuted of use. I use canned air to freeze it when it gets too warm (soft) It comes in a large block and is easier to work with if you cut it up and keep it in .50" sheets or bars.

Question 4

Hi! Can or has this be used successfully as an alternative to wax when making a lost-wax casting mold for jewelry pieces?

Accepted Answer

If you mean molding it to jewelry to make broken pieces I don't see why not.  It is very stiff and waxy when it isn't heated, and I believe it has wax in it.  I am clearly not sure as I have never tried to use it for this exact purpose, but I can't see why it wouldn't work as long as you don't have to heat i on the process, as it would melt.  Hope that's helpful!
