Kaolin pencil lead, when mixed with clay, typically produces a softer and smoother writing or drawing experience. Kaolin, a type of clay, enhances the texture and can affect the opacity and color of the pencil lead. This mixture is often used in art and craft applications, as it allows for better control and a more refined finish in the marks made. Overall, combining kaolin with other materials can improve the performance of pencil lead.
