An improvement on olive-oil based balms, slik results in a medium with superior texture that remains moist. Slik is easy to work into clays; slik should be applied first to your hands, then spread lightly onto a patty of clay and kneaded in. Slik also works as an all-purpose release on tools or texture surfaces.
