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

Worked for the job I needed

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 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.

This is good thick plastic that is kind of easy to work with. It didn’t work for what I needed though and ended up sticking to the item I was trying to make into a mold.

First time using this type of product, and it exceeded all expectations. The “puck catchers” under my air hockey goals were thin plastic and cracked / not usable. I was able to tape one up and use it as a mold to “melt” the plastic sheet and copy the form. It works amazing, is stronger than original, and if it does break I can just slightly melt and repair it. Best product ever!
