Product Information

Full details

Fimo Professional Modelling Clay is a high-grade polymer medium designed for professional artists, jewellery makers, and hobbyists who require exceptional detail and structural integrity in their work. Its primary benefit lies in its high dimensional stability, which allows for fine-scale sculpting without deformation, though users should be prepared for a firmer consistency that requires thorough conditioning before it can be easily shaped.

FAQs

Can I mix Fimo Professional with Fimo Soft?

Yes, Fimo Professional is fully compatible with the Fimo Soft and Fimo Effect ranges, allowing you to combine textures and properties.

Is it dishwasher safe after baking?

While hardened Fimo is water-resistant, it is recommended to hand-wash creations to maintain the integrity of the finish.

What should I do if my oven does not have an exact 110°C setting?

Use an oven thermometer to verify the internal temperature, as precise heat is essential for successful curing.

Does the colour change after baking?

Fimo Professional is known for its pure pigments; however, it is always recommended to test-bake a small sample to check for colour shifts.

Can I sand or paint the clay after it hardens?

Yes, once fully cooled, the material is stable enough to be sanded, drilled, or painted with acrylics.

Troubleshooting

Clay is too hard to work with

Slice the clay into thin strips and knead for a longer duration or use a clay conditioning machine to soften the texture.

Finished piece cracked after baking

Ensure the oven temperature was calibrated to exactly 110°C; cracks often occur due to uneven heating or exceeding the recommended baking temperature.

Clay is picking up lint or dust

Clean your workstation with a damp cloth before starting and use baby wipes to clean your hands periodically during the sculpting process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your clay for use, slice it into thin pieces and knead thoroughly until pliable. For best results, work on a clean, glass, or ceramic surface.

Baking Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 110°C (230°F).
  2. Place your completed design on a piece of parchment paper or a ceramic tile.
  3. Bake for exactly 30 minutes.
  4. Allow the creation to cool completely in the oven or at room temperature to reach full hardness.

Storage and Care

Keep unused clay in its original packaging or an airtight container to prevent dust accumulation. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight.
