like I said for clayface Frank uses incendiaries and phospherous nades to bake him solid. He doesn't even walk into arkham he plants C4/Semtex high explosives all around and sits by his car waiting for enemies to come out. if it gets to bad and he gets his car outside he's usually got a flamethrower lying around and I'm pretty sure clay is gonna run into trouble real quick when jellied petroleum starts taking the moisture out of his clay. Or failing that frank hoses him down with water or steels freezes freeze gun. He's not above stealing enemy weapons.

Frank gets no prep, he knows nothing about his enemies. His first reaction is not going to be hey lets go get that Flamethrower out of the Battle Van I leave lying around. Besides he has to worry about other enemies at the same time including Scarecrow's fear gas, Ivy's pheremones, Freeze's Freeze Gun, and Joker venom among other things. This isn't a one attacks at a time thing, he won't have time to plot and plan a strategy for each enemy because he doesn't know them, he has no idea of their capabilities, and he has zero prep time which Frank thrives on.
Like I said he doesn't even walk into Arkham and if he gets his truck which is standard gear he's got the gear to deal with it. Also I thought that prep was just having stuff ready not that he has no knowledge of capabilities. If he knows clay's a shapeshifter he's liable to shoot first and ask later.

even if he doesn't impersonate a guard, he could easily just pick one of the villains, and when frank tries to take him on thinking he knows how to beat them, i'm not sure he could recover in time to put down someone that powerful at such a close range.
So he's going to know clayface is a shapeshifter and that he's made of clay. Punisher isn't stupid. Like I said even if he doesn't get flamethrower to bake clayface incendiaries and phosphorous will probably do the job just as well. Also as I said before he doesn't even fight most of the villains he just plants explosives all around. Crock isn't going to stand up to AP rounds from a drum loaded M16/similar assault rifle.
