Useful for many moldmaking and sculpting undertakings. Unlike water-based clay, oil-based clay will not harden and may be used repeatedly. It is ideal for temporary molds and models. Good for making dams when molding and casting. Soft enough to make impressions of leaves or other habitat materials. Several leading bird taxidermists, most notably Ed Thompson of Lilburn, Georgia, like to use oil-based modeling clay to set the eyes in their bird mounts. This gives them the freedom to slightly modify the eye angle or depth after the bird has begun to dry. Roma Plastilina Modeling Clay is the number one choice of discriminating sculptors everywhere. Grayish-green color, medium firm.

What will dissolve oil based modeling clay?

How do you work with dried out modeling clay?
You don't. It will harden somewhat on the outside and gets a crusty feel, but it never seems to harden completely. I think the reason is that it has an oil in the base so it stays moist and soft. If you try to bake it, it will break apart when you pick it up. Something that does harden, can be molded, and comes in different colors is Femo. I am not sure of the cost of it, though. Depending on what you are making you could try the cheap paper mache' method. Take strips of newspaper, put them in a glue or wheat paste, clear off the excess paste and then place it on a mold or frame to get the shape you want. Let it dry. Takes about 2 days to dry and then you can paint it.

No. Modeling clay contains oil that keeps it soft and never hardens. Polymer clay does not have an oil, it hardens when exposed to heat. polymer clays are often called "oven-bake clay"because you can make stuffs such as pendants, brooch, earings and other accesories using polymer clay by baking them in the oven. YES, i said oven. PLEASE be safe and never try to put them in the microwave.
