    What is the best clay to use on megos?

    Hey everybody,

    I was just wondering what kind of commercial brand clay you can use on a mego bodies so it does not harden? Thanks

    Depending on what effect you're trying to achieve, a modeling compound that remains flexible after curing is probably your best bet. I've used Sculpey-flex and Eraser-clay with good results.

    Uncured Sculpey will remain somewhat flexible, but it tends to crack, and will damage hard plastics. The oil in traditional modeling clay will damage fabrics and vinyl.

        Any store like Michael's or Hobby Lobby that carries regular Sculpey should have them.

            I tend to prefer Sculpey myself, but I have heard that some like a product called PREMO. Also available at the Michael's and Hobby Lobbys of the word

              I use premo for stuff that doesn't need to be flexable, sculpey bend n flex for the other.
