Just wondering if plasticine leaves less colored oily residue than the el cheapo modeling clay, or really even the more expensive modeling clay. I know plasticine is more expensive, but if it wont leave trails on my models I would much rather pay the extra dough(no pun intended) so I dont have to spend the extra time cleaning. thanks in advance

Once I bought some really cheap modelling clay, actually it was called plasticine too, it was red and really oily and everything it got in touch with became red also.
Nowadays I use some grey stuff that comes in four grades of softness. I have never had any problems with any staining.
Plasticine is available in a wax base or in an oil base. If you have problems with one try the other.
Try calling the places who sell the stuff and ask them, they should know. |

what exactly are you using it for?with "roma" or "ids" brands there is a slight residue, but you can clean it off with rubbing alcohol. monster makers clay leaves a little less oily residue then roma or ids, but costs more. hope this helped out

According to the book "the Molding and Casting Handbook" wax based clay retains its identity when it is heated, when oil based clay beakes down into oil and unmoldable solids.
