Occasionally people will make temporary mould repairs or changes using the wax. Resin does not stick to it so it can be easily scraped off after the resin has cured. Warren i also saw this type of plasticine in the store (https://www.easycomposites.co.uk/newplast-plasticine-modelling-clay im sure i can use this also to fill some gaps on my mold.but whats the difference between these two?
