I was confused by this, so I googled "plasticine".
Per Wikipedia,
"Plasticine, a brand of modelling clay, is a putty-like modelling material made from calcium salts, petroleum jelly and aliphatic acids. The name is a registered trademark of Flair Leisure Products plc. Plasticine is used extensively for children's play, but also as a modelling medium for more formal or permanent structures."
Whew. At first I thought "plasticine" might have something to do with something sinister. Like bombs... or something. You know, given the way it was used in your response.
But it's only a harmless kids' toy! What a relief.
(Of course, it
still doesn't make a lot of sense...
