When I pulled it, it sort of “snapped” rather than stretching and after it cooled down, the result was kind of rubbery and not very usable. Just heat the sheets with a heat gun or in hot water above 150 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until they turn from white to clear. Molten polymethyl methacrylate thermoplastic can be cast into slabs to form windows for commercial aquariums.

Its standout feature is the ability to maintain flexibility after curing, which is essential for materials that are constantly under stress or movement, such as outdoor gear, footwear, and sports equipment. It’s just made of plastic with a light inside, kind of a pale blue and then the letters are a frosty white. Use Polymorph for making models, prototyping, 3d printing, repairing or making custom handles and connector to a multitude of items.An extruder screw pushes the plastic through the heating chamber in which the material is then melted.

Injection Molding - This process can produce intricate three-dimensional parts of high quality and great reproducibility. I have one which stays with my garage clothes iron, my garage kettle, my garage microwave oven, my garage food mixer and my garage washing machine. After a few minutes in hot water, the pellets will turn completely clear and begin sticking to each other. Add color by melting a few Polly Plastics Color Pellets (sold separately) along with the moldable sheets. It is extremely easy to use, simply mould with warm water and leave to solidify at room temperature.I have to admit that while I’d heard of moldable plastics and a myriad of uses for them from cosplay to protective sword fighting gear (yup, I’m that person), I’d never actually used them before. Simply place it back into hot water, it will soften and you can re-shape it as many times as you like! Thermoforming – Films of thermoplastic are heated to soften the film, and then the soft film is pulled by vacuum or pushed by pressure to conform to a mold or pressed with a plug into a mold.
