I purchased this on a whim as I was restocking some hardware and glue and it came up with great reviews. When it first arrived I thought I would just try it out to see how it worked -- since it is supposed to re-useable it wouldn't be a waste and if it didn't really work as well as everyone said then I could return it. It was VERY easy to use. I put 1 cup of water in the microwave for 1 minute and my digital thermometer read almost exactly 140 degrees (I have tried it since at even higher temps and it still works great -- just test the water temp before plunging your hand in!). Once hot I dumped in 2 tablespoons of the little beads waited 2 minutes then picked up the rubbery lump right out of the water and started forming it. It was very moldable (and fun) and set up hard and strong in about 3 minutes. But that was just testing it out... The "Very Handy and Surprisingly Effective" part came later when my wife asked me to fix her toilet? The plastic nut that holds the handle had cracked and while the company graciously said they would ship a new one for free, they also said it will take several weeks. Several weeks without a flushable toilet in the Master Bedroom isn't an option so, I heated up a cup of water and dropped in about a table spoon of InstaMorph. Even 1 tablespoon was more than I needed, but one of the great parts about this stuff is you just put the unused stuff back - no waste. After 2 minutes in the warm water I took it out and formed it into something like a gummy worm, about as thick as a straw and 2 inches long then simply wrapped it around the threads and squished and formed it a bit to make sure it got in deep. A couple of minutes later it was HARD PLASTIC and holding on very tight. I used pliers to un-screw it and looked in amazement at this perfectly formed replacement nut (I could easily have used a crescent wrench to make flat parts for tightening too). Looking at it installed I realized I probably won't even need to put the replacement nut on when it comes. I will try to use that moment as a reminder to come back and update this, but know that if I haven't updated this yet, then it is probably still working. Clean up... none. No mess or fuss, just dump the water (it is all non-toxic) and put any leftover bits away to reheat and reuse later. I did decide to form them into several long strands instead of one big lump, though, just because they will heat up faster and it seems like a useful shape to start with. Net conclusion is that I'm really impressed with this stuff and recommend that everyone have a little bit around for quick fixes.

I bought this item thinking that I will be able to easily mold things or remold (as advertised ) but it appeared to be uneasy in molding and after the first boiling process, the substance becomes very sold even with reboiling!! Don’t recommend it.

My daughter uses it for coz play, but it has many other uses. Best poly morph, it does not crack after reheating multiple times.

Heard about this stuff from a cosplayer and decided to give it a shot for some small things worbla might not be ideal for. After some trial and error I've determined this is a great alternative. I used it in some candy molds, but be advised if you're using it IN something put baby powder, or Pam or something to act as a barrier. I've now got one mold that is lost as it plastic is not comin outta that sucker. Also if you find after it's set you need to make some adjustments you can just reheat it with your heat gun and it becomes pliable - no need to toss it.

Got this to make a small part for my camera but I'm sure I will find other uses for it. Highly recommended !
