Both Le Beau Touché formulas hold very good detail, carve and shape easily, have tremendous flexibility and will not dry or crack. Le Beau Touché - HM is preferred by clients working in warmer climates, above 90° F. It is very similar to the original Le Beau Touché but is slightly firmer and less tacky at room temperature. The original Le Beau Touché is very sensitive to heat variations but the HM formulation will remain stable even at higher temperatures. Le Beau Touché and Le Beau Touché - HM are every smooth and even flowing products. The smallest amount of heat, just friction from rubbing it in your hands, will soften the original Le Beau Touché. These clays may feel slightly firm in the original extruded blocks but slicing off small amounts will make it very manageable. The Le Beau Touché product line is commonly used by artists for the creation of sculpture or to build dams when making splash molds. Both formulas are available in Brown and Gray-Green.

Consequently, NSP cuts cleaner with fewer ragged edges.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt also comes in three different consistencies: Soft, Medium, and Hard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to its well earned “tuff” moniker, NSP has also been said to be grabby, especially when compared to sulfur based clays.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNSP clays are some of the most versatile in existence, as they’re used across myriad industries. Their most popular use is by artists for sculpting, but they’re also used to fill cracks in industrial patterns and for the building of dams during the creation of splash molds. Product designers are another popular consumer of NSP clays, as the product possesses superlative adhesive qualities and is highly flexible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShelf life for NSP clays is fantastic as long as it’s stored in its original packaging. It’s not uncommon to store NSP for months, and in certain situations years. Do remember, though, that the clay will oxidize at an increased rate if it is repeatedly warmed and cooled. To some, this is a benefit as the oxidation of the clay makes for a harder surface, making it easier to handle and, often times, better for the making of molds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNSP Brown is the same color across all three consistencies: Soft, Medium, and Hard. The gray-green color, on the other hand, varies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChavant’s NSP is often melted, especially by sculptors, and it works just fine under these circumstances. Hot plates and crock pots tend to be the most popular methods. Do note, however, that the clay becomes sticky when melted, and can be smoothed out again by using water, lighter fluid, and even turpentine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNSP’s melting point is 175 F. Once melted, the clay can be poured, brushed, or sprayed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf the three consistencies, NSP Soft is the one that gets used at room temperature the most. At this temperature, it can easily be modeled. NSP Medium and NSP Hard, however, benefit from a temperature bump to anywhere from 110 F – 120 F. At these temperatures, the clay is easier to model, and sets up nicely afterward. Notably, NSP Hard can be used at room temperature as well, though it is frequently tooled in these situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant: Do your best to keep your sculpture out of direct sunlight, and to wrap it in either plastic bags or saran wrap, as prolonged exposure to both sun and air only serves to expedite the oxidation process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll clay products are available by the case.","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"Soft","offer_id":45481602285854,"sku":"CH-01S-B","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":45481602318622,"sku":"CH-01M-B","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hard","offer_id":45481602351390,"sku":"CH-01H-B","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/2558\/8254\/products\/nsp-med-brown-500_2.png?v=1686583902"},{"product_id":"chavant-le-beau-touche-hm-green-10lbs-1-4-case","title":"Chavant Le Beau Touché HM Green - 10lbs (1\/4 Case)","description":"Le Beau Touché and Le Beau Touché - HM are two distinctly different products with some very similar characteristics.

Both are sulphur free modeling clays that were introduced because of their exceptional smoothness and adhesive qualities. Le Beau Touché products are used by many types of artists who often are looking for a product that will stick to basically any armature material. Both Le Beau Touché formulas hold very good detail, carve and shape easily, have tremendous flexibility and will not dry or crack. Le Beau Touché - HM is preferred by clients working in warmer climates, above 90° F. It is very similar to the original Le Beau Touché but is slightly firmer and less tacky at room temperature. The original Le Beau Touché is very sensitive to heat variations but the HM formulation will remain stable even at higher temperatures. Le Beau Touché and Le Beau Touché - HM are every smooth and even flowing products. The smallest amount of heat, just friction from rubbing it in your hands, will soften the original Le Beau Touché. These clays may feel slightly firm in the original extruded blocks but slicing off small amounts will make it very manageable. The Le Beau Touché product line is commonly used by artists for the creation of sculpture or to build dams when making splash molds. Both formulas are available in Brown and Gray-Green. Handling Tips: Le Beau Touché can be warmed to soften but as it softens it also becomes sticky. Le Beau Touché - HM can be warmed to soften and will work quite nicely at about 105° F. Using small amounts of citrus-based solvents, lighter fluid, latex paint removers, turpentine or mineral spirits as a lubricant on the surface of the clay will help to attain a smooth surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnique Prop's: Le Beau Touché has great adhesive qualities allowing it to stick to all armature materials including aluminum wire, aluminum foil, cardboard, foam or paper.
