Montana Gold Series
The Montana Gold brand is the only genuine dual pressure can on the market. With five different caps available it is easy to achieve a pencil thin line (with a low pressure) to a very wide 13 inch spray (with high pressure) from the same can. This newly developed cap system combines low and high pressure performance in the same can. Their color concept allows for nearly perfect color gradients in all directions. A new valve system using a soft spring results in minimal dripping, quick drying time and high opacity. Each can comes with a standard cap. This flat, matte high quality spray paint is dry within seconds of application and will not fade for over 10 years! 

Here's the scoop in layman's terms: Montana is acrylic based color. It can be used on a variety of surfaces including wood, concrete, metal, glass, plastic, canvas and others. It has an extremely short drying time. The colors are light fast and guaranteed for 10 years. The colors are extremely opaque and the colors are brilliant and intense. In addition Montana is 100% lead and CFC free. It is the cream of the crop in artist quality spray paint.

Since 1892...
the finest name in modeling clay

Description: Chavant Professional Plasteline is the original sculpting clay formula developed by Mr. Claude Chavant in 1892. The name was Trade-Marked by Chavant in 1927. Each of Chavant's various clays are used by industry professionals and the name "Professional Plasteline" should not limit the use of alternative clays by Professionals. Professional Plasteline is simply a name for one of the Chavant product lines.

The basic formulation of Professional Plasteline has not changed very much during the past 100 years. It is a sulphur-based clay body that is pliable at room temperature. It is available in only one grade of firmness. If clients prefer a firmer clay body with similar characteristics to Professional Plasteline they should consider the Industrial Clays CM-50 or CM-70. Fantastic sculptural works have been achieved using these products.

Professional Plasteline is one of the softest clays Chavant produces. DaVinci, soft and firm, are even softer. The sulphur filler gives this clay a silky feel appreciated by many artists. The clay has some amount of length but is susceptible to cracks when armatures move under the weight of the clay. Professional Plasteline is available in Brown or Gray-Green.

Professional Plasteline is most commonly used by artists for the creation of sculpture and is often used to fill cracks in industrial patterns or to build dams when making splash molds.
Handling Tips: Professional Plasteline can be warmed to soften further. Using small amounts of water as a lubricant on the surface of the clay will help to attain a smooth surface.
Unique Prop's: Silky, smooth surface.
Firmness: "3" on a scale of 1-10. See Firmness Chart, page 6.
Softening point: Professional Plasteline is generally used at room temperature but it is not uncommon to warm the clay to 110° F - 120° F to soften it even further.
Working Temp: Room Temperature
Cautions: Professional Plasteline contains sulphur, which may cause a burning sensation in the eyes of some users. Although not dangerous it may be uncomfortable. Over heating sulphur based clay will cause the sulphur to crystallize, which is easy to identify by the small, sand like granules which will be seen after the clay has been burned.
Hygiene: Wash hands with soap and water after use.
