The NEW Fimo Classic—no more crumbling!!

This new formula of Fimo Classic is a dream come true. I have not had any problems with ‘moonies’, breakage, cracks, crumbling clay or any tearing of the clay while sculpting. The clay has the best clay to clay adhesion of any brand I have used as well as holding its shape (no smooshing) and incredible detail. Below is a photo of a leg (for a 9 inch doll) that I sculpted for practice. I used the clay straight out of the package with about 10 minutes or less of conditioning. This leg is just the baked/cured clay, no blushing, mixing of other clays or other color alterations.

WARNING!!
This new formula bakes at 230 degrees F/110 degrees C, NOT 275F/130C. This is very important. If you bake it at a higher temperature, you WILL get stress cracking and/or discoloration (I know this from personal experience).

“For many years, FIMO® polymer clay has been recognized around the world as a leading brand of oven-hardening clay. FIMO® Classic features the same firm texture that made FIMO® such a superb clay for detail work including millefiori, but with one major improvement. FIMO® Classic blocks are now divided into 8 segments to make cutting and blending a lot easier.

A favourite clay all over the world, Fimo Classic is the original Fimo that has been tweaked and is now much softer in texture. It is ideal for a wide range of uses – from jewelry, beads and millefiore caning through to miniatures and doll making.”
