Hi Clay, The clays that are used in clay modeling within the automotive industry are mostly an oil and wax based. The "wet clays" that you have spoken about are mainly for free form sculptures where the accuracy is not a problem. Wet clays will shrink a lot more than an oil and wax based clay. Automotive clays are made pliable by heating in an oven, no water is used in the process. If you read through most of this forum I'm sure there are a few posts that will talk in more depth on the subject of clay. Checkout this link to Chavant www.chavant.com/index_main.shtml, they are a major player here in the USA. Check the distributors list for nearest supplier or contact them direct. They may be able to help you out. Steve

Benaddibrahim, Use the link to the Chavant website that I provided in the previous post. Within that website are all the answer to your questions. Where you can buy the clay, what the clay consists of and contact email addresses of their representatives. With that information you should be able to decide whether that clay is the type that you need. Steve
