"With Chevant clays - sort of a cross between pink and brown - you have
no nasty smell, it does not bleed oil, and silicone mold release works
really well with it.
You do need a heat gun to effectively work with the various oil clays."
In the auto industry we use Chevant for clay modeling full size models. on a smaller scale, use a styrofoam cooler heated with a 150 watt light bulb to keep your clay at a working temperature. rough the design in with warm clay. as it cools it will harden. then you can use carving tools for the detail. chevant clay does have an odor when warm. personally, i wouldn't use it in the house. rebecca

Chevant does indeed, have an odor, but it is not near as offensive to
me personally, as is the sulfurous odor of the Plastilena or oher
Plasticene clay types.
