Staedtler Fimo Step-by-Step
Fimo is an exciting and versatile
modelling material. It comes in a large range of colours (including
fluorescent, luminous and glitter), which can all be mixed together to produce
an infinite variety of shades. As Fimo remains soft until baked, there is no
waste and work can be completed over a period of time. Finished articles are
baked in a domestic oven and once cool, harden and become watertight. If
necessary more Fimo can be added and the article re-baked. Once complete it can
be sanded, carved, cut, painted and lacquered.
To bake Fimo, place the finished model
on a baking tray covered with aluminium foil. Preheat an oven to 130° C and
bake the Fimo for 15 - 20 minutes. The Fimo will then become hard once it has
cooled.
It is important not to exceed the hardening temperature and do not re-bake
anything that has been glued, painted or varnished.
MICROWAVE OVEN: Fimo can not be baked in a Microwave oven.
