Most water based clay, especially WED clay, does not dry out and crack after a few hours unless used in thin or tiny forms in extremely warm dry conditions. There is an additive in WED clay that is there specifically for retaining moisture. Water based clay can hold incredible detail and you work in the detail when the clay has lost some of it's moisture, which happens naturally as you work on a piece after days or weeks. Wrapping the piece in rags and plastic is better than saran wrap in most cases. When you think about your choice of clays....just remember the great pieces of the past were made with water based clay models. ...details and all.
One of the more informative videos on the differences of these clays that I've found. Good length, not boring, straight to the point. I'm going to start sculpting, and start with oil based! Now the decision is just between Monster and Chavant...
Some very good basic information here. The following comment is biased by the fact that I am a ceramic artist. There are many many applications that oil based clay is the best choice. But there is so much to know about how to work with WED clay or any water based clay, I would encourage people, if they haven't used water based clay, to study ceramics some or take a basic pottery handbuilding class to learn about the things you can do with it. Learn the basic skills like wedging and joining, coiling and making slabs. That way if you do have a project that mat actually be better done in water based clay, you would have some ideas about what it's advantages are for the particular application.
For instance it's a bit misleading to say it's softer than Chavant. Water based clay can be adjusted to be softer or harder by how wet or dry it is. So you can start with very soft clay and then make your basic form then dry it to various levels of firmness to the point where you can
carve it with extremely precise detail when you get it to "leather hard". As pointed out water based clay is way less expensive, so you can play around with it, experiment.
Excellent video! Great comparison.
Also, a disadvantage of most harder oil based clays is that you constantly need a heating tool to make your clay workable.
But then again, using a water based clay you need to constantly apply water. So I guess that levels out
There's no more free samples /:?
I want to make a silicon modeling for stop motion. I think the NSP is better, right?
Do you guys offer a free sample of Monster clay soft and medium? i got 10 pounds of hard, but i think its far too hard for my current large project, so id like to try the other two out to see how they work in a small sample if possible?
Oil based clay can’t be hardened can it?
Is WED clay sulfur free?
Can you seal a wed clay with cement sealer
hello sir, I want to ask whether WED clay can make kitchen utensils such as plates, glasses which can usually be used as kitchen utensils?
How do I request samples
well presented, I am going to tear apart my quail sculpture made with WED clay and start over, using monster clay. I love the WED clay ( I actually worked at WED Enterprises) however the water clay drys much to fast and cracking…so tear down and start over. Thanks
Can order to sri lanka
What is water clay called if I’m in the uk?
Tea.
A huge disadvantage with oil-based clays was missed: they are intermediate media only. In order to make anything that will last, you have to make a mould from the oil-based clay piece, then cast it. That's a LOT of time, effort, money. That's OK for a production line, but not for a one-off.
Right. In my case I don’t have access to the materials and machinery to sculpt something in an oil based clay, then cast it, clean it, finish it. I need something that I can turn into a finished product...
That is a fair point. Do you have to fire the WED clay to set it or does it cure on its own?
I am learning the ropes with chavant at the moment, it gets a bit sticky when working under lamps but apart from that it's great to play with. I like the idea of making moulds but not done it yet, I'm keeping my pieces in the fridge for now lmao.
Is WED clay the same as air dry clay?
+Seany Worny (The Gifted One) yes
+thedarkmoonman does it crack very easily?
Instead of Oil Based clay, you can use Plasticine which has been around since the 1940s. It will never dry out either.

Sucks about oil clay you cant sale the done sculpture you have to make mold that cast more money for molding supplies then have to buy resin in witch is expensive as hell that never sale as much as a wed clay sculpture that can be painted
Hobby lobby has cheap oil based clays
Water based clay can easily be recycled and reused. I've used and recycled it for years !!!!!
most oil based clay stinks( except castilene!) and my skin dont like ist, i prefer water based clays.Unfortunately, there are limits to water-based clay in terms of the details. I make relatively small prototypes with water-based clay, but with small fingers and hands it is very difficult to work with water-based clay, even impossible to sculpting fine details of the fingers.
