Default Best Clay for Glass work?

What is the preferred Clay to use when filling in the corners (fillet) after you made the wood form? I've used one type of non-water based Clay, but it is very hard/firm and is difficult to extrude through a shape making tool. Looking for some advise from the Fiberglass masters on the site.

Thanks,

Jim

I seem to remember that "Master Stick" mentioned sculpy, but he may have found something he likes better since then. "Big", who did a lot of work with Strick, mentioned it above in his entry.

Just sayin'!
