Plastie is a moldable plastic you can shape with your hands. It is reusable, ecofriendly and nontoxic. Directions of use: Boil some water and pour it into a mug or a bowl. Glass / ceramics work best, as Plastie may stick to wood and other plastics. Add the desired amount of Plastie to the hot water. DO NOT STIR, as this doesn’t speed up the process, but instead entraps the water between the granules – making it hard to drain. Wait for ALL granules to turn clear, then another 15 seconds or so,and drain the water. If you wait longer it will become sticker, but will give you more working time. If you wait less than 15 seconds, it will start turning into solid fast. Experiment to find the best times for your application. Plastie may stick to other plastics, paper and fabric. Always try a small amount first. Choking hazard due to small parts. Keep away from small children. WARNING: Plastie may become hot. Hot water can scald. Always supervise children! Review: Best bang for the buck - I tried this product for the first time just a few days ago and have already ordered more. Everyone has particular needs, and this product addressed mine perfectly. I wanted something I could make a rigid push mold out of for embossing textures into extruded polystyrene foam insulation board. Softer products and more brittle products (polymer clays/plasters) weren't able to take the pressure. By using a softer material to make my original pattern/master from (XPS foam), painting it to seal it, and brushing it liberally with mineral oil, I was able to make various brick and floor tile patterns that I could push into the softened plastic. After the plastic sets for about 20 minutes, it becomes a nice hard plastic. Sometimes I get lucky and my XPS foam original pops right back out. Other times I have to pick it out, but that's okay, because the originals are waste anyway. A quick wash with dish detergent to remove the mineral oil, and the plastic push mold is ready to go. I don't know yet how well it picks up fine details, but for my embossing purposes, the various ridges that form my design are perfect for pressing into foam, which then pops right back out again and is ready for painting. A 16 oz container was enough for me to make eight 2.5" inch square, 3/8" thick molds, with material to spare if I had been more sparing. True to advertising, the used plastic melts down as well. For re-melting, I boil a small pot of water (in an expendable pot) with the used material already in the water. I keep boiling it until the whole piece turns clear. This is a bit slower than melting the pellets, but it doesn't take more than a few minutes. So far, I've found that if I've got paint on the melted plastic, it just swirls right in and doesn't seem to affect its usability at all. I'll definitely be buying more over time. Review: WOW AWESOME STUFF! - I love this stuff. Had it for a while and decided to finally try it out. I made my first pair of doll shoes. Will be better next time, this was my first try. It melts very fast. Found putting it & water in microwave for abt minute and half melts to the texture & firmness I could easily use. Can be pressed flat & molded around the dolls foot. Could also cut it with scissors! Didn't use the ice cool down method tho but found it stayed pliable for some time & just dunking in hot water for a few seconds would soften it right back up. I know this stuff could have hundreds of uses later also. I could use a sharpie on it while still pliable & it also holds paint & nail polish well with a coat of liquitex gloss. My next pair, will use a different technique for the shoes but getting used to how it works was amazing. It does dry EXTREMELY hard if that's what you need. I only used abt a table spoon & half for this project. What I like the most is there's NO WASTE. Just let leftovers harden and put back in the jar. Highly recommend this product.

Not sticky and that’s a good thing
I used this stuff to make horns and fangs. Most of the other brands get soooooo sticky it makes it hard to use. This brand does not!! Very easy to work with I highly recommend, After using for less the 5 minutes I liked it so much I ordered 2 more tubs of it.

Very easy to use
Absolutely easy to use and with great results. I suggest you try it for yourself. Dries hard and doesn't crack. Great for dolls customization and most DIYs. Will buy again for sure.

Good for the price
Doesn’t melt to be as soft and pliable as some of the other plastics out there, making color harder to get even, etc. That said, this is still a fine product that does what it needs to, and is very strong once cooled. I wouldn’t pay a premium price for it, and use it for business, so I probably won’t use it any more, but for simple arts and crafts without the need for uniform coloring, pliability, and ease of use, it is fine.
