Polly Plastics Heat Moldable Plastic Sheets - 3 Sheets, 8 x 12 x 1/16

Worked for the job I needed

Really useful product. I had previously used the credit card size moldable plastic from another manufacturer. These sheets are easier to use and you get a lot more for your money. Highly recommend if you ever need to fix or modify anything plastic around the house. I have a heat gun, but I found with these sheets it is easier to use hot water. I leave in the hot water just before it becomes fully transparent and then pull out and mold. If you wait until it is fully transparent it will loose all shape.

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.

These sheets work pretty well, the moulding temperature is maybe a bit on the hot side in my opinion, but the quality of the plastic on its own is good. Maybe a tad overpriced but it seems all plastic products seem to be overpriced anymore.

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.
