Polly Plastics Heat Moldable Plastic Sheets | 8-inch x 12-inch x 1/16-inch | Made in The USA | for Cosplay, Crafting, and Art Projects | Paintable (3 Sheets)

I'm just getting into making costumes out of plastic. These sheets are amazing! They can be cut easily with a sharp hobby knife. They melt easily with a heat gun. I hit a 2" spot for 10 seconds and move the length of the line i need to cut, then it cuts like a hot knife through soft butter. It can be cut easily cold as well.It molds well into any shape. It can be stretched, and by reheating 2 pieces, they can be blended easily to hide seam lines. I heated strips and applied them to a floral foam ring, they didn't burn or melt the foam. Just take care to not accidentally stretch it while cutting it if you heat then cut.It will stick to just about any surface including cutting mats so spread some wax paper over your work space first! It will not stick to skin unless you heat it to totally clear. It is easily workable with bare skin although gloves can be worn.It's very compatible with the beads as well. Just note that you have to heat both the sheet & beads to blend them. I have not tried dyeing them, but i will do so soon. They take acrylic paint no problem, no primer, no sanding.The only gripe i have is that it is hard smoothing all the little bumps & wrinkles unless you are putting them into a mold. I didn't see the many, many bumps & crevices on a large prop ring until i applied the paint.I've had no issues using Blue Stuff aka Oyumaru to mold little domes to apply "bolts" to armor. Oyumaru is a molding compound that you heat to make molds of items. Even though you have to heat the thermoplastic to mold it, it will not melt the Oyumaru in the process.

My project called for Warbla, but I decided to try this because it was a little less expensive and it was perfect

This plastic Warbla is really cool to make Shields and things for figures.

Unfortunately, the thing that makes these easy to work with makes them a bit useless. Since they melt with light heat, they formed into the mold perfectly.....but then they are such a soft plastic that they melted out of shape almost immediately. Really good in cool settings.

The product was very easy to use, even for an inexperienced cosplayer. I needed something easy to use, paint, and layer to create a mask for my Darth Revan cosplay. I looked at the moldable plastic pellets first, but as I was going to flatten it anyways, the plastic sheets made more sense. My picture shows the mask in the mid painting stage.Cutting the plastic was very easy. I used normal scissors. Layering the plastic on top of each pther was a bit more difficult. Hot glue and super glue did not adhere. However, if you heat the base and then heat the piece you want to layer, you are able to effortlessly melt the two pieces tlgether, making layering a breeze after you figure this out. I'm still painting, but I did not have to sand or prime the plastic for the acrylic paint to stay.I highly recommend cutting the sheet first, then shaping it with a hair dryer, not using the hot water method described in the included directions. I wasted almost an entire sheet using the hot water method. When I removed the sheet from the water and attempted to add a gentle curve, the sheet turned into a ball and I could not flatten it out!

I have ben using this material for the past years used properly it can be used for many or jen can be used to repair many items. Have used i material ,k a leer fr ma abele CCTV for my electric trike I can see where M going nice I am legally blind and have been or 5 years, so if I can use it then I’m sure you can. halt been consoled or pad anything my opening. I suggest you try the material just once and you will see heat I’m saying is true.

I had a broken ice bin on my refrigerator/freezer and just the part would have been $120.00. I was able to fix it with a couple of sheets saving me a LOT of money.

I found this product by searching "clear worbla." Be advised, it is NOT worbla. Worbla is much thicker, more textured, and doesn't bend or warp as easily under heat. These sheets are very similar to the moldable plastic pellets that can be melted down and used for making small structures or strengthening larger pieces. It worked very well for my current project, which involved melting it onto a flat plastic surface in order to seal and strengthen a weaker, flexible plastic. The advantage of this product over the smaller plastic pellets is its ability to be cut to size and shape prior to melting, and to be melted flat on top of piece without using hot water to soften it. It does become very pliant under heat, and must have a flat surface under it to stay flat when heated. Overall, I really enjoyed using this product for my build. 10/10, would recommend.
