It's reusable, strong & non-toxic plastic you can mold yourself! InstaMorph is an advanced modeling compound that becomes moldable when warm (150 deg F) and solidifies at room temperature. It's made out of a lightweight polyester thermoplastic which acts like clay when warm, but when it cools, it's a strong plastic. Unlike other products that once they dry they are locked in that shape forever, InstaMorph can be reheated over and over again and re-molded into any number of configurations. Instructions 1. Heat some water to 150+ degrees F. 2. Pour InstaMorph pellets into the water. 3. Wait approximately two minutes or until white InstaMorph pellets turn clear and stick together. 4. Remove from the water and get rid of any remaining liquid between the pellets. 5. Form into desired shape with your hands, tools, molds, or any other means necessary. 6. Once you've got your InstaMorph creation finalized, let it cool to room temperature and use. Ideal for many projects and all skill levels Mold it with your hands, tools, or press around an object to make a mold. InstaMorph can be painted, machined, carved or attached to other materials. Product Uses * Create props, masks, or other costu... [Read More]
