Best Answer

Fimo and Cernit are both polymer clays, but have small differences. You can get Fimo clay which is a bit tough to condition, but holds find details well. Then you have Fimo Soft, which is a softer and more malleable clay. It is easy to condition, but may sometimes become a bit too soft to hold details, like required in cane work.

Cernit is even softer than Fimo soft, and the colors are slightly translucent, something that makes it very popular with doll makers. It is considered to have superb strength after curing.

What is the best clay to use?

my opinion is that if your looking for good clay to make charms or keychains i advise you to use sculpy or fimo Soft dont get original its too hard but both Sculpy and Fimo are name brand and are really good. You can buy them at michaels or any other art supply store and remember to wash your hands and wipe down the surface your working on before you use any light colors because they can easily catch lint and dirt so be careful, Hope i helped Bye ;]~
