Modelling clay FIMO prof 57 g carmine 8040-29 by FIMO

FIMO prof modelling clay, 57 g in carmine (shade 8040-29) is a professional-grade polymer clay designed for precise hand modelling, detailed miniatures, jewellery and decorative elements. This compact pack provides a smooth, workable texture that blends easily with other FIMO colours and holds fine details well. After shaping, the clay cures to a durable, solid finish according to the manufacturer's baking instructions, making it suitable for long-lasting craft projects and small-scale production runs.

Advantages

The clay delivers consistent plasticity and even pigmentation, allowing accurate colour matching and smooth transitions when mixing with other shades. Its firm yet pliable consistency supports fine modelling without cracking and retains surface details during handling and curing. The 57 g format is convenient for trial colours, small projects or adding accent tones to larger works. Compatible with standard FIMO tools and finishing techniques, it cures to a stable, wearable surface appropriate for jewellery and decorative items.

Suitable for

• Hand-sculpted miniatures and figures
• Beads, pendants and small jewellery components
• Decorative accents on mixed-media projects
• Colour testing and small batch craft production

Key specifications

• Material type: polymer clay with consistent texture for modelling
• Net weight: 57 g
• Colour: carmine (deep red tone)
• Workability: softens with kneading, suitable for blending and fine detailing
• Curing: oven-bake polymerisation to a durable solid finish (follow manufacturer baking temperature and time)
• Finish: can be sanded, drilled, painted or varnished after curing

How to use

Knead the clay until it becomes uniformly soft and flexible, then shape with hands and modelling tools to achieve the desired form. Combine with other FIMO colours by layering or conditioning to obtain gradients and custom shades. Place modelled pieces on a heat-resistant surface and cure in a preheated oven following the manufacturer's recommended temperature and duration to ensure full polymerisation. After cooling, refine the surface with sanding, painting or varnishing as needed for the final look.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, condition the clay thoroughly before shaping and use low-speed tools to avoid overheating. Test curing parameters on a small sample if working with mixed materials or unusual shapes. Store unused clay in a cool, dry place, wrapped to prevent dust and colour contamination.
