Before You Buy

• Use these on soft clay. Once clay has set hard, a modelling tool will not cut it and forcing one can snap the tip.
• Moulded plastic tips shape soft clay well but are not made for carving hard or leather hard clay.
• Wipe the tools clean before the clay dries on them. Clay left on a tool sets hard and pulls the surface next time.
• Near twin: the yellow plastic sets come in packs of 6 and 7 with single ended tools.

You will Need
