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

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.

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.

I like that this product is cheaper than the Worbla paper and it is pretty easy to work with. I would recommend purchasing a heat gun to work with this product as it makes it a lot easier to mold and is less messy. The only problem I had was getting the product to keep its shape even after heating up. Also be careful how much you heat it up because it will turn to a gel consistency and can bubble up. I was very impressed. The product also came to me very quickly and in good packaging.

Thermoplastic that sticks like a tar or melted gum. The uses can be a variety tho and that's the good thing. You can melt it with apparently hot water but I used a heat gun. I applied it without caring about the possible stickyness I expected and ruined a sheet. It's like I said pretty much like tar melted but it dries at a good timely manner.The stuff goes clear when its moldable and melting up ready to work with and goes right to white the bright white when hardening. Be careful if you handle it when melting it is pretty hot. I use tools for safety.Good product for my uses but can take some practice. I'm just glad this was available to buy. Lot's of searching but found this to be the right thing to start with.

The media could not be loaded. First time working with thermoplastic, and I loved it!!! I already had a hot knife and heat gun so it was easy to get started. Very easy to rework and holds up well with wear. Also easy to paint, clean finish. The plastic itself never got too hot to the touch, I actually burned myself just on my heat tools. Make sure you wear a proper mask while heating, cutting, and sanding and use either glass, wax paper, or nonstick surface to work on!

My project called for Warbla, but I decided to try this because it was a little less expensive and it was perfect

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!

This plastic Warbla is really cool to make Shields and things for figures.
