Best Answer

Both types of clay are the same. You can use both types of clay to create things. I looked into this and found out that both dry up after a while if you want it to. If you want to paint the clay after it is dry is sort of a mystery to me. I absolutely know that after the crayola air dry clay drys you can definitely paint it. With other types of modeling clay, I am not so sure. I hope this helps.

What principles belong to work as atomic emission spectra?

As far as I know, Alex doesn't make a polymer clay (polymer clays must be baked to cure and hadren 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 hadren 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.HTH,Diane B.
