Back in the 80s thermoplastic became popular and was released in crafting stores in strips that folks would use to make jewelry. This functions the same. placed in boiling water the beads quickly turn into a putty like clay which can be formed. The process is quick and simple but can quickly harden based on temperature. I believe that it can be returned to hot water again to make it malleable but because it hardens when it cools you have a limited time to work with it. I suspect you could keep boiling water at hand and frequently reintroduce it back into the water to keep it soft offering more time to mold it. I cast it in a plastic mold (which was a pain to remove) and it worked well. I placed it in the freezer to rapidly cool the clay for a couple minutes but found it was still fairly soft. It took about 10 minutes to completely harden. Removing it from boiling water it was very malleable, but not real hot which was nice. Overall, this works just like thermoplastic should and offers an unique media base to mold into items. My little brother does a lot of costuming and he frequently uses this type of plastic for things like claws, horns and teeth. Overall, a really cool crafting item. At the present price of $14.70 that feels with in fair market value. I enjoyed working with it. [...]
