Product Information

Full details

The Staedtler Fimo Soft Starter Pack is an ideal choice for both novice crafters and experienced sculptors who require a versatile, high-quality modelling medium. It offers the benefit of a pliable, easy-to-condition texture right out of the package, making it perfect for intricate designs and quick hobby projects; however, users should note that because the clay is soft, it requires a light touch to prevent unwanted fingerprints or deformation during the shaping process.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this clay air-dry or oven-bake?

This is an oven-bake polymer clay; it will not harden until it is heated in an oven.

Can I mix these colors?

Yes, Fimo Soft colors are designed to be blended together to create custom shades and gradients.

Is the finished project waterproof?

Once properly cured, Fimo Soft items are water-resistant and durable.

What tools do I need to start?

Basic tools include a rolling pin, a craft knife for cutting, and a smooth work surface, but you can also use household items like toothpicks or cookie cutters.

Can children use this clay?

Yes, it is suitable for older children, though adult supervision is required during the oven-baking process.

Troubleshooting

Clay is too sticky to work with

Place the clay in a cool area or refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm it up before handling.

Surface of the project is covered in dust

Use a cotton swab lightly dampened with rubbing alcohol to gently wipe the surface before baking.

Clay cracked after baking

Ensure the clay was not baked too thin or at an incorrect temperature; always use an oven thermometer to verify heat.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely easy to condition and knead for beginners
  • Comprehensive range of colors included in one pack
  • Smooth finish that holds fine detail effectively
  • Compatible with other Fimo clay lines for mixing textures

Cons

  • Texture may be too soft for complex structural armatures
  • Prone to picking up lint and dust due to tacky surface
  • Requires careful storage to prevent exposure to dust

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin working, ensure your workspace is clean and free of dust, as the soft nature of the clay attracts debris easily. Use a non-porous surface like a glass or ceramic tile for rolling and shaping. The clay is compatible with other Fimo Soft and Fimo Effect lines, allowing you to blend colors or add metallic or translucent effects. For curing, bake in a conventional oven at 110 degrees Celsius (230 degrees Fahrenheit) for approximately 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of your creation. Always store unused portions in airtight containers or original plastic packaging, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain pliability.
