Modeling clay Staedtler FIMO 8010 Fuchsia 57 g

FIMO 8010 Modeling clay in Fuchsia (57 g) is a polymer modelling material designed for detailed handcrafting and small-format modelling projects. This single-colour block is soft enough to shape by hand and tools, yet formulated to harden permanently in a home oven, providing durable finished pieces suitable for decorative objects, jewellery components and small functional items.

Advantages

The FIMO 8010 Fuchsia clay offers consistent texture and colour saturation, enabling precise shaping and fine detail work. Its moderate firmness balances workability with stability so that thin elements hold their shape before curing. After oven curing the material achieves a non-porous, solid surface that can be sanded, drilled, painted or glued, making it versatile for post-processing. The 57 g size provides a compact option for sampling colours or completing smaller projects without excess waste.

Suitable for

• Crafting small jewellery pieces such as beads, pendants and charms
• Model-making and miniatures details
• Educational craft sessions and hobby practice
• Mixing with other clay colours for custom shades and effects

Key specifications

• Material type: polymer modelling clay
• Colour: fuchsia (single solid colour)
• Net weight: 57 g
• Workability: soft to moderate, suitable for hand and tool modelling
• Curing method: oven hardening to permanent state
• Finish after curing: non-porous, sandable and paintable surface

How to use

Knead the clay until it reaches a uniform, pliable consistency before shaping. Model the desired forms using hands or sculpting tools, ensuring pieces are of suitable thickness for even curing. Place finished items on a ceramic or heat-resistant surface and bake according to the manufacturer's oven-hardening instructions for temperature and time to achieve full polymerisation. Allow cured pieces to cool completely before handling or performing any post-processing such as sanding, drilling or painting.

Usage recommendations

For best results, follow recommended baking temperatures and times for polymer clays and use a dedicated oven thermometer to verify accuracy. Work in a clean area and avoid contaminants to maintain colour purity. Thin parts should be supported during baking or thickened slightly to reduce the risk of deformation. Store unused clay wrapped airtight in a cool, dry place to preserve workability.
