WED clay is an excellent clay to sculpture with. If fact, the name WED is actually named after Walter Elias Disney. The clay formual was developed for disney and used exclusively by the studio for several years. The "secret" component of the WED clay is glycerin, it gives the clay the smooth and creamy texture not found in normal water based-clays.
The oil based clays are a great medium as well, I prefer Chavant NSP Medium which is a Sulphur-Free Plasteline.
Both have thier advantages and disatvantages.
Like Ian was saying with the hair dryer, I opt for the standard butane torch for my heat. I suggest trying to locate a copy of Mark Alfrey\'s sculpting with WED clay video. Well worth the price.
There\'s my two cents on the subject.
