[charliegentry]

[Dwntera]

[rebimu]

Can u bake fimo in a oven u make food in??? This is a question i am thinking all the time :')

[ClayCrazay]

It would be nice if you could show some finished products using each of the clays mentioned. Thanks for the video. Very nice.

Some parents don't allow buying online and the more you buy the heavier so the more expensive shipping is so that doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Buying online also is a tad bit annoying and is less likely to have sales. Another problem would be if you wanted to do clay for an assignment, and for most assignments the designated due date is two weeks from the day the assignment is given out so if you need clay quickly you won't be able to get it.

I've been using fimo soft for a while now and although I love it it discolours a lot in the oven, mostly the white, it turns a burnt colour, I know I'm not leaving it the oven too long because I actually take it our after about ten minutes... Have you got any tips on how I can stop it discolouring?

[gabrielnara]

excuse me, i have a question. i want to make something small using this clay. so that means i still have a lot of un use clay, if i want to save those un use clay for later, will that clay harden if i dont use it?

Its better to have a little oven that you use to only to bake your polymer clay pieces in, polymer clay gives of toxix fumes, do not use the oven you cook in, its not healthy, you can always pick up ovens at salvation army or second hand stores, or flea market, tag sales, Walmart for real cheap!Also fimo bakes at different temp then most other brands so be aware when mixing clay, but it should be ok, just bring down temp and bake longer, to ensure piece is cured all the way threw what you trying to do is pull the moisture out of the clay and cure it, Hope this is helpful, fimo is a really hard clay to condition but it really nice if you tend to have hot hand and your your clay gets to soft because of it, always buy just one block when trying a new clay, dont go crazy and buy every color, test it first!

Fimo is wonderful! But I have some troubles with mine. After about 3 - 4 months and it's still not all used up it cracks and is very crumbly. It's best to store your clay instead of being a total bafeediot (hehe) leave it out in the open air. ^^

I have this in a similar packaging except it doesn't say classic, soft, or effect. I didn't buy somebody gave it to me and I have no idea what it means. I don't see anyone else who has this packaging.

[kawaiipanda]

...how do u open a FIMO package? I heard it was resealable...help!!

[vanillapixie]

For some reason whenever i get Fimo effect its really crumbly but when i get fimo soft its fine. Anyone know whats wrong??

[xvsupremacy]

Fimo soft is verry hard i have to heat it up but if you enclose it.It can sometimes melt

[CoolKawaiiCharmz]

I when I test fimo it feels very hard. When I condition it, it crumbles and hurts my hand

[Rachelhtran]

It is actually a lot harder to find in Australia and is about $5 AUD a block. :c

[asancgosna]

It's damn expensive..can you tell me what can i use instead of fimo?

[HorseyContent]

Super helpful! Have you heard of FIMO Kids? I plan on getting it as my first every block of clay, but I want to know if it's soft, etc...

[CandySecks]

Can you put polymer clay in the oven or do you need a kiln? Id really like to use clay but I'd never be able to get a kiln
