Modelling clay FIMO prof 57 g — FIMO marine blue 8040-34

FIMO professional modelling clay in a 57 g block, colour Marine Blue (8040-34) is an oven-bake polymer clay formulated for detailed modelling, beads, miniatures and repair work. The clay offers an even, pliable texture that holds fine detail and can be smoothed or textured as required. After baking in a home oven it cures to a hard, durable surface suitable for painting, varnishing or assembly into mixed-media projects.

Advantages

The FIMO prof formulation provides consistent softness for shaping while maintaining enough firmness to preserve intricate patterns and edges. It blends cleanly with other FIMO colours, accepts fine tools for carving and smoothing, and resists cracking during baking when used according to manufacturer temperatures. The cured material is dimensionally stable, sands well and adheres to many common craft substrates when appropriate primers or glues are used.

Suitable for

• Hand-sculpted figurines and miniatures
• Beadmaking and jewellery components
• Small repairs and model details
• Mixed-media craft projects and embellishments

How to use

Condition the clay by kneading it until it becomes soft and pliable, then shape with hands or modelling tools to achieve the desired form. For thin or delicate parts, use supports or work on a cooled surface to avoid deformation. Bake the model in a domestic oven following the temperature and time guidelines provided by the manufacturer for FIMO prof clays to ensure complete curing. After cooling, sand, paint or varnish the piece as needed and assemble into larger projects using appropriate adhesives.

Usage recommendations

Work on a clean, non-porous surface to prevent contamination of the marine blue colour. Avoid overheating during baking; follow the recommended oven temperature and time to reduce the risk of burning or discoloration. Store unused clay in airtight packaging away from direct sunlight to maintain pliability.
