Modelling clay FIMO prof 57 g by FIMO, ocher (8040-17)

FIMO prof modelling clay, 57 g in ocher (shade 8040-17) is a professional-grade polymer clay designed for detailed modelling and craft applications. The compact block size makes it convenient for hobbyists, jewellery makers and modelers who require a consistent texture and reliable curing behaviour. This ocher tone provides a natural, earthy base colour suitable for skin tones, accents, or rustic finishes in small sculptures and decorative elements.

Advantages

The clay offers a homogeneous, workable consistency that holds fine detail and smooths easily, allowing precise shaping with hands or tools. It is suitable for repeated conditioning and blending with other FIMO colours to achieve custom shades. Once cured in a domestic oven according to the manufacturer’s instructions, the polymer clay becomes firm and durable, retaining its colour and surface finish. The 57 g block format is compact for storage and transport while providing enough material for multiple small projects.

Suitable for

• Hand-sculpted miniatures and figurines
• Custom jewellery components like beads, pendants and charms
• Detailing on mixed-media decorative objects
• Prototyping small model parts and accessories

How to use

Prepare the clay by conditioning it with your hands or a pasta machine until it reaches an even, pliable consistency. Shape the clay using sculpting tools or by hand, joining pieces by slightly warming and blending contact areas. Place finished items on a suitable baking tray and cure in a domestic oven following the manufacturer's recommended temperature and time to ensure a complete hardening. Allow cured pieces to cool fully before sanding, painting or sealing.

Usage recommendations

Condition the clay thoroughly before working to avoid cracks during curing. Use a dedicated oven thermometer to maintain accurate baking temperature and follow safety instructions for ventilation. For professional results, blend with compatible FIMO colours and finish cured surfaces with appropriate paints or varnishes designed for polymer clay.
