Plastic "FIMO", EberhardFaber, Germany - detailed instructions on working with polymer clay.

1. Giving elasticity. Before you start working with Fimo, it is necessary to give softness and elasticity. Separate the desired piece of plastic and knead it in your hands to the desired level. Please note, we have a plastic Fimo dividing strips, it is very convenient for details please cut the amount of plastic and proportioning your product You can store and use plastic Fimo modeling for as long as you want, it does not lose its plasticity over and over again, until you decide to consolidate your product in the oven.

2. Mixing and inclusion. Fimo Plastic mixed until a homogeneous mass within 5-10 minutes. So, knowing the basics of mixing colors, you can easily get the desired shade. Use the palette below.

3. Various effects and blotches. You can make different effects by embedding orderly slow twisting, pressing or application layers. It is also possible to form a picture inside using opteredelennyh technician working with plastic.

4. Simulation. As for the surface modeling using any flat, smooth surface. Use any special and handy tools: rolling pin, knife, chisel, trowel, shovel, knitting needles, needle, toothpick and other means. Fimo Plastic well holds its shape and texture, but if your product is to be high, thin and outweigh in its upper part, to ensure its stability, it is desirable to use a wooden or metal box that the product is not deformed in the process of fixing. The model that you have begun, may be ended at any time, but the material should be stored in a bag or box to avoid dust.

5. Curing. Any home oven is suitable for fixing your product. Preheat oven to 110 degrees, in any case not exceed the degree mode. Place your model on a plate or glass and place in the oven. Depending on the size and thickness of the product, the sealing process may last for 20-30 minutes. The final solidification occurs only after your model is completely cool. Keep this in mind and do not touch the product as long as it has cooled down completely, so as not to damage the shape. New material for the simulation can be added to the already enshrined Fimo and strengthened again in the same way.

6. Safety Regulations. Do not exceed the firing temperature above 110 degrees and 30 minutes roasting time, otherwise the plastic will start to burn and can be harmful gassing produced. fixing process may not be completed on their own children under the age of 8 years and should take place only under adult supervision must !!! Do not use a glass thermometer to measure the temperature in the oven! Do not use a microwave oven for roasting - it explodes plastic!

7. Staining and varnishing. Fixed Fimo can be painted with acrylic paints. Give light and shine you can by covering your product by any varnish to solvent-based and water-based, glossy or matte.

8. Bonding. For gluing fimo with other components using adhesive for metals and plastics. To glue the broken part of Fimo you will need superglue.

9. At the final stage. After the simulation is finished be sure to wash your hands, work surfaces and tools with warm soapy water. Avoid plastics in your mouth. Babies and animals it is desirable to first remove from the work area. Do not drink or eat during the simulation in order to avoid falling into the mouth. Ready-made toys, plastic Fimo keep out of reach of children under 3 years.

10. Storage. Store Fimo need plastic at room temperature or in a cool place. Unpacked the plastic can remain fit for a few years. Unpacked plastic foil, place the food, jar or plastic bag. Avoid exposure to polystyrene, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) foam and because their surfaces may be subjected to chemical attack.

NOTE: Plastic is designed for self-employment of children from 8 years. Always make sure that the child was thoroughly familiar with the instructions and precautions. Where do you think is necessary, for example, at the stage of strengthening (see. Above), check up the process on their own. Children from 4 to 8 years old - can work with Fimo platikom only under close adult supervision !!!

WARNING: Carefully read the instructions before you start, clearly follow her instructions and precautions.

COMPONENTS: modeling material consists of PVC and plastikosvyazuyuschego substance.

PRECAUTIONS: In case of non-compliance with safety rules in the process of curing, if overheating is still there with accompanying release of toxic gas, turn off the oven, open the box, remove the plastic from the oven, and bring out all the fresh air. Creative success to you !!
