Use a Rubber Rib from a hobby store to smooth it out, you can also use some rubbing alcohol when you are using the rib to help with smoothing it out as well these are just some tips other people have given me.

It would be nice, when posting these things to let everyone know what a deathdealer is without having to google it.

To answer your question, I use Alcohol and various scrapers. Have you checked out TheEffectsLab.com :: View topic - Sculpting detail in oil clay ?

well this has been a long process , i have a helmet pulled cleaned and painted , luckily when i pulled the mold off the clay it didnt do to much damage to the clay , because i am planning on cleaning up the sculpt, and doing another mold , to many bubbles in the first one , and it was a real pain to clean up after it was finished , anyway it turned out good not great ,as in i wouldnt sell any copies, but it will definately do the costuming trick , still have to make the ponytail holder as well .
