Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics - Cosplay & Hobbyist Supplies for Crafting, Repairs, and More - EZ Grip Jar with Idea Booklet (10 oz)

This stuff is neat. Very easy to use. I recommend an electric kettle and starting with really hot water and letting it cool to a handleable temperature after becoming translucent and removing from the water. Although I did read the instructions, without thinking I donned my vinyl food service gloves. I barely poked the softened material before realizing that was a bad idea. It would have stuck to it. So I quickly removed them and carried on.Now, the reason I bought these thermoplastic pellets (in addition to just being the crafty sort of individual) is for an off label use. The instructions clearly state that it is not for internal use and I accept any liability in my usage of it. With that disclaimer in mind, it does work for making a mold of your teeth. It doesn't taste bad or like anything actually while molding it to teeth. I can imagine that it could very well stick pretty well to teeth if you swished cold water around and it really set up, but that's not what I'm trying to do with it. I love that you can just keep warming it back up to reuse it. I can see using it for many different prototypes and quick fixes where you need to replace a lost piece. Done with one modeled item? Make a mistake? Remelt it and make it into something else. It is fairly flexible when cooled, but solid, not brittle. I tested it by bending several times and it didn't break. Excess material needed to be cut away. They say it can be sanded but I haven't tested that yet. It is white in color but is not fully opaque. I can't wait to try coloring it! And now that I have a better idea of its material qualities, I can't wait to see what uses I will find for it. The 7oz I purchased will go a long way but I can definitely see myself reordering!

Easy to use & sculpt but dries and hardens quickly. On the plus side, if you mess up, just warm it up again and start over. It's been very useful for what we make.

I used these product in place of rice that I had used in a crafting class to make gnomes. The rice I realized would attract rodents so I wanted it gone. This works perfectly! I didn’t obviously try melting or molding but now I know it’s available. It was a bit pricey but since it kept me from tossing a craft that I had done with my granddaughter it was worth it! The pellets are tiny smaller than rice, if that matters to you.

I'm a cosplayer and I used the plastic to make a headpiece for the current character I am working on. It worked great for what I needed but I had to keep re heating the plastic and got it stuck to my rolling pin a couple of times but after quite a few tries I was able to get a piece I was happy with. I dont see them breaking anytime soon as both horns are pretty sturdy and light. Just need some practice with the product. Hopefully I'll be able to create more pieces with it soon.

Works as expected. Great possibilities for art projects!

...of a dumb person. That dumb person is me.Once upon a time, a complete idiot put a non-dishwasher-safe water bottle into the dishwasher and washed it. The bottle emerged warped, and thankfully the lid still screwed on so it was usable, but the bottom had shrunk so the plastic in the center stuck out, making it unable to stand upright. The child who owned the water bottle was none too pleased. That left the dumb person with a conundrum. How to fix the water bottle?Then, a flash of inspiration. The dumb person sought out and purchased a bag of Polly Plastics pellets, having used a similar plastic in the past for making silly things like props and monster teeth for LARPing in their youth. In the old days, this friendly plastic came in strips and was a hassle to heat and shape. The Polly Plastics pellets, however, were very easy to use - with only boiled water from a kettle, the dumb person was able to put some pellets into a coffee mug that the water bottle fit snugly into, heat them with the water, then pour off the water and jam the water bottle into the mug. After twisting it to and fro a few times, the dumb person easily extracted the water bottle and was delighted to find that it now sported a crude-but-functional flat bottom.The child was pleased, and the dumb person was now slightly less dumb, and could almost be considered innovative. Please note that the water bottle certainly now cannot go into the dishwasher as melting Polly Plastics pellets would surely wreak havoc, but fortunately this water bottle is very distinctive and the lesson has certainly been learned.Since repairing the water bottle the child has absconded with the bag of Polly Plastics pellets, as they are working on cosplay and were very keen to use it to make teeth and claws and all sorts of thingamajigs. Thank you, Polly Plastics, as your pellets have positively saved the day.

I have gone thru numerous bottles of this stuff, and given it as gifts to several friends and family members. I even put some into my toiletry kit for emergencies while traveling. How have I used it?Making hanging accessories for my rolling desk.Replacing a broken door basket bracket in my refrigerator.Fixing a broken oven door pull until I could order a replacement.Re-attaching a cut piece of body trim in my car when my lift was removed.Filling in stripped out screw holes to make quick repairs.Replacing the top of a car key fob so I could put it back on my key chain.Making various handi-assist items I can put on the end of a metal tipped paint pole. Like... Custom socket/hook so I could unlock and open a door without having to roll up over a large tile border. Custom socket to open and close heating vents in my ceiling. A large hook so I can close my van doors from the other side of my scooter lift without scratching the paint. A custom socket to turn the stove knobs from a seated position without leaning over hot elements, and putting tabs on numerous things so they can be hung where I can easily access them.I love this stuff.
