Product Information
Full details
The Plasticine Colour Max Set is an ideal choice for artists, students, and children who need a versatile, long-lasting modeling material for creative projects. Its standout benefit is its unique non-drying formula, which allows for infinite reuse, making it perfect for skill-building and experimentation. While it offers excellent color mixing capabilities, users should note that the material is not intended for permanent hardening or oven-firing, meaning finished projects cannot be permanently preserved in a rigid state.

FAQs
Can I bake the Plasticine to make it hard?
No, Plasticine Colour Max is designed to remain soft and pliable and will not cure or harden under heat.
Is this product non-toxic?
Yes, it is designed for safe use, though it is not a food product and should not be ingested.
Will the colors stain my clothes?
While it is generally easy to remove from surfaces, it is best to use it on protected surfaces and avoid contact with delicate fabrics.
Can I mix different brands of clay with this?
Mixing with other brands may alter the texture and non-drying properties of the material; for best results, stick to the Colour Max range.
How do I remove residue from my table?
A gentle scrape followed by a wipe with a mild household surface cleaner usually removes any residue.
Troubleshooting
Material feels too stiff
Warm the clay in your palms for 60 seconds to soften it before shaping.
Dust or lint stuck to the surface
Use a small piece of clean clay to dab and lift debris off the surface.
Colors smudged together unintentionally
Clean your hands thoroughly with mild soap and water between color transitions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the set, simply warm a small portion of the material in your hands to increase pliability. You can combine different colors to create new shades by folding them together until a uniform color is achieved. For storage, keep the Plasticine in an airtight container or its original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent dust accumulation. If the material becomes slightly stiff due to cold room temperatures, kneading it for a few minutes will restore its natural softness.
