Alex Clay

Answer 4

As far as I know, Alex doesn't make a "polymer" clay (polymer clays must be baked to "cure" and harden them).

Alex does have a 16 color set of "modeling" clay --those are also oil based like polymer clay, but have wax added to them (if you tried to bake a modeling clay, it would begin to *melt* rather than getting harder).

Alex may also make colored "air-dry" clays, but not sure. That type dries in the air in about a day, and also shrinks somewhat ... the drying can be speeded up a bit by being put into a low temp oven for an hour or so, or in front of a fan, etc.
That heat can't cause an air-dry clay to "cure" though the way it would a polymer clay.

Air-dry clays will harden if not kept in an air-tight container (after about a day), where polymer clays and modeling clays will not do that.
So again, modeling clays can't be baked, polymer clays must be baked.

Some brand names of polymer clays you might see around in the U.S. are Fimo, Sculpey, Premo, Cernit, Kato, etc.... some brand names of different types of air-dry clays you might see around are Creative Paperclay, Play-Doh, Model Magic, Makins, Hearty, Celluclay, etc.
