Hi, Jap.
I use
this stuff
from EC and it works great. I used it with EC epoxy gelcoat (the green one) and mold putty as well with the Unimold process, and was not disappointed.
Its more expensive than regular plasticine, but you can still reuse it reasonably.
Being a wax, the heat of one of your hand holding a small amount while you are working with ur other hand will keep it soft enough to be very workable without applying tons of pressure to shape it.
Hope it helps.
