Weapons and Props Policy
1) Don't be stupid. Examples of weapon and prop stupidity include, but are not limited to:
Not having a weapon safety checked by a member of Public Safety at their office. If we find a weapon or prop not safety checked, we will ask you to go and have it checked.
NO LIVE STEEL. If it can hold an edge, bringing it into a space with a bunch of hyperactive convention attendees seems to be the near pinnacle of stupidity.
Any replica gun MUST have an orange safety tip. If you get into a shoot-out with the police, and have only a toy gun that they think is real, that's stupid.
Projectiles of all kinda (darts, air, vomit, etc.) are prohibited. We've had some incidents in the past, and do not want to confiscate airzooka, nerf guns...or be forced to call an exorcist again.
Props should be made out of materials that make it difficult to impossible to bludgeon someone to death with. I realize that cosplayers are loathe to bash someone about the head with a prop they've spent time working on, but still, needs to be said.
If you buy something at one of our fabulous dealers that violates these rules (like a sword, knife, particle accelerator, Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, life-size Alphonse Armor, etc.) take it DIRECTLY TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM OR CAR. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.
We have a two strike policy on most prop offenses (Baseball has a trademark on 3 strikes that doesn't expire until 2035). If you are found being stupid in regards to your prop, we will ask you kindly not to be stupid. If you are still being stupid with your prop, we will take it away for the remainder of the con. So please...PLEASE don't be stupid. That makes us angry, and you wouldn't like us when we're angry.

Yeah paper clay should be fine. I am the cosplay Lt this year. The only thing we pretty much frown on is metal props hence the live steel.
