STAEDTLER 8041-200 FIMO Professional Oven-Hardening Polymer Modelling Clay, 454g - True Red (Single Block)

The STAEDTLER FIMO Professional Clay is a bit smaller than I’d hoped, but hey, good things come in small packages, right? I decided to put it to the test by sculpting a little white cat, because why not? It was the perfect excuse to get creative and pass some time, and the results were pretty adorable if I say so myself! The clay itself is really nice to work with. It’s firm but pliable once you get it warmed up, which made it easy to shape without getting too sticky or falling apart. I was initially worried it wouldn’t be enough for anything meaningful, but I ended up with a cute cat sculpture and even had a little leftover to experiment with. I’d say it’s the perfect amount for small projects or little accent pieces. Once baked, it hardened really nicely, and the porcelain finish looked almost like ceramic, which gave my tiny cat an impressive, professional-looking vibe. If you’re like me and love to work on little creative side projects, this FIMO clay is a great choice, just be prepared for its size, because you might end up wanting more once you start having fun. Now my only problem is resisting the urge to make an entire collection of little white cats, although, honestly, that doesn’t sound so bad!

Good clay, easy to use

Excellent blue fimo. Seller 5 stars for resolving problem with order.

Why turquoise so expensive.its just another colour!!

Not too expensive and it was exactly what I was looking for. It’s a bit tough until you work with it for a long time, I wanted it for making clay figurines. I made something silly to make sure it works and it does. All you have to do is stick it in the oven for a bit and it hardens nicely.

I love this brand. It's so easy to work with and I've had zero issues with crumbling or cracking. It's not too hard and not too soft which is helpful for shaping. One of my favourite brands of clay.

This can be for beginners, but I’d probably recommend using the Fimo soft to practice with so you’re not wasting professional clay on practicing...I do however think that if you’re making a more detailed piece then I’d go for this Clay as it holds more detail! After discovering this professional standard Clay, I haven’t stopped using it and use it in all of my projects! It’s quite stiff but that allows more detail to be retained. Beginners will find this fairly easy to use too and will probably enjoy the process of making things a lot easier and enjoyable! The cost for an 85g block is really good and it lasts me ages. I also love the colour mixing system these clays have!

One of life's little pleasures - digging your fingers into lovely, fresh, malleable Polymer Clay! Over the years I have come across blocks of clay which have needed a good bash with a mallet to soften it up but this Fimo is an absolute dream. It always pays to choose a seller who has a steady stream of customers, thus keeping their stocks new. Having found this seller I will be a loyal customer from now on! Great quality and value for money!

La mejor marca

When I first opened the clay, it was extremelyyyy hard–I even put the amount I was going to use in a bag and sat on it for 20–25 minutes 🤪😢. It softened tiny bit after that, but rolling it out with a rolling pin still required a lot of effort. When I lifted, it cracked apart easily. Making a simple egg holder took much longer and was much harder than expected, so it wasn’t therapeutic at all 🫠 I couldn’t smooth the surface completely so some marks remained and water does not help because it is not like other clays material. For baking, I set the oven to 110 degrees and after 30 minutes it was still a bit soft. I kept baking it longer, but it didnt help and it only fully hardened during the cooling stage, so keep that in mind (image 2 is right after baking). It was perfectly hard after it cooled down. I bought 2 packs and probably wouldn’t buy it again, though the soft version(not the “professional”)might be more suitable. I usually work with air-dry and ceramic oven clay, so this consistency felt quite difficult and not very user friendly…

Farbe: Cameo, 454 g Als langjähriger Bastler und Modellierer habe ich schon mit vielen verschiedenen Knetmassen gearbeitet, und FIMO Professional von Staedtler hat mich bisher am meisten überzeugt. ⸻ Verarbeitung & Handhabung: Der Clay lässt sich sowohl von Anfängern als auch von erfahrenen Modellierern problemlos verarbeiten. Die Konsistenz ist genau richtig: fest genug, um filigrane Details zu modellieren, aber dennoch geschmeidig, sodass man keine große Kraft aufwenden muss. Auch nach längerer Bearbeitung bleibt das Material formstabil und trocknet nicht aus. ⸻ Detailtreue & Ergebnisse: Besonders hervorheben möchte ich, wie gut FIMO Professional Details aufnimmt und auch nach dem Aushärten beibehält. Die Kanten bleiben scharf, feine Texturen sind klar erkennbar. Das macht es perfekt für aufwendige Fanart-Figuren oder kleinere Schmuckstücke. ⸻ Aushärtung & Haltbarkeit: Der Fertigungs- und Aushärtungsprozess ist unkompliziert: einfach nach Anleitung bei 110 °C im Ofen backen, und das Ergebnis ist in kurzer Zeit fertig und stabil. Es traten bei mir keine Risse oder Verfärbungen auf. Die gehärteten Stücke wirken langlebig und fühlen sich wertig an. ⸻ Praxistest: Ich habe mit diesem Block bereits drei größere Fanart-Figuren modelliert, die sowohl als Geschenk als auch für die eigene Sammlung bestens angekommen sind. Egal ob jung oder alt – der Spaßfaktor beim Modellieren und das Ergebnis überzeugen auf ganzer Linie. ⸻ Fazit: FIMO Professional ist für mich der perfekte Polymer Clay: leicht zu verarbeiten, detailtreu, zuverlässig in der Aushärtung und geeignet für jedes Niveau. Für Einsteiger genauso empfehlenswert wie für Profis. Volle 5 Sterne von mir!

Il a fallu plusieurs aditions de liquide fimo et de manipulations pour qu'elle puisse retrouver sa consistance acceptable. Je suis très déçue

Alles prima
