Product description: Le Beau Touche and Le Beau Touche - 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 Touche 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 Touche formulas hold very good detail, carve and shape easily, have tremendous flexibility and will not dry or crack. Le Beau Touche - HM is preferred by clients working in warmer climates, above 90° F. It is very similar to the original Le Beau Touche but is slightly firmer and less tacky at room temperature. The original Le Beau Touche is very sensitive to heat variations but the HM formulation will remain stable even at higher temperatures. Le Beau Touche and Le Beau Touche - 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 Touche. The Le Beau Touche 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 Touche can be warmed to soften but as it softens it also becomes sticky. Le Beau Touche - 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. Unique Prop's: Le Beau Touche has great adhesive qualities allowing it to stick to all armature materials including aluminum wire, aluminum foil, cardboard, foam or paper. Le Beau Touche products will not oxidize and can be left out or heated and cooled repeatedly without any significant change in the product.
