Morning Dave,

My China folks came back with this...

Here is the translation to each point:
Oil base "paste"

features

(1) Under Room temperature, the material is firm. it can be sculpt with details, suitable for prototyping, industrial modeling.

(2) Mild heat will soften the material for modification.

(3) A thin slice of the material can even soften with body temperature from the hand. (4)It does not stick your hand. It does not shrink, better than the other similar material.

Instruction to use:

(1)Cut the material in thin slice. Use hand to shape.

(2)To glue 2 pieces together, use hair dryer to soften and press. (3)After sculpt, the material will be hard. If you want to make minor change, use hair dryer to heat and soften it. It you have to change the shape of the sculpture, wrap it in a plastic bag completely seal and dip in hot water. You can also put it in oven of very low temperature for half an hour to soften it.

....I asked them to keep theirs eyes open for this over there. It's too bad that there was no manufactures name on it. Unfortunately, it looks like I will be heading back over there soon. I will ask around while there. Can you see me trying to carry this clay through Customs...tell me this wouldn't get a second look :-)
