Chavant Clayette
Why pick Chavant Clayette instead of the standard Chavant range?
If you’re looking for a softer and less sticky alternative which doesn’t oxidise. Clayette can be left uncovered, heated and cooled repeatedly without any significant change in the product. It will perform excellently when making silicone rubber to take a mould.
Clayette is designed to be worked by hand at room temperature but can be warmed to soften further. It can be smoothed and tool marks removed using small amounts of citrus based solvents or (taking adequate precautions) lighter fluid, latex paint removers, turpentine or mineral spirits.
Clayette and Monu-Melt are similar clays and work well at the same temperatures. These are both non-sulphur clays, but differ as Monu-Melt clay liquifies and the Clayette does not.
Chavant Fine Art Sculpting Clays
Each type of Chavant Fine Art Sculpting Clay, also known as Plasteline, is suitable for all educational levels and professional sculptors in the Fine Art, Special Effect, and Product Design industries.
All will meet requirements for detail retention and surface development. Blocks are each individually wrapped.
Why is sulphur used in some of the clays? Sulphur is a non‑toxic filler that enhances the surface texture of the clay.
Why is sulphur removed from this Chavant clay? Sulphur‑free formulas are generally easier to make silicone rubber moulds (as Sulphur is known to inhibit Platinum Silicone curing) and also have less odour.
