    Nice thing about clay is if you keep the moisture content correct and don't fire it in a kiln you can reuse it indefinitely I like that extrusion machine
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    I would expect it to be wax or oil based plasticine clay.
    If kept clean, remelting the shavings doesn't hurt the clay.
    Water based clay shrinks as it loses moisture and can be inconsistent in texture.
