InstaMorph - Moldable Plastic - 12oz (White)
InstaMorph is an advanced modeling compound that becomes moldable when warm (150 deg F) and solidifies at room temperature. It’s made out of a lightweight polyester thermoplastic which acts like clay when warm, but when it cools, it’s a strong plastic. Unlike other products that once they dry they are locked in that shape forever, InstaMorph can be reheated over and over again and re-molded into any number of configurations. Wait approximately two minutes or until white InstaMorph pellets turn clear and stick together. Once you’ve got your InstaMorph creation finalized, let it cool to room temperature and. put it to use. HIGHEST QUALITY: We source the best ingredients from US and UK suppliers and package everything in our US locations to ensure the highest end quality to the consumer.

"i use this to make tiny doll shoes and it's amazing and durable."
"Even if you have to make a few before you get one that you like, it's so worth it. And the container that I purchased has enough product to make a lifetime worth of teeth!"
"I was afraid this would mean that kids wouldn't be able to play with it but in fact they can due to the low thermal capacity and conductivity. I'd say it's as structural as the plastic in most kid's toys and actually a bit tougher (resistant to cracking) I believe there must be some crystallization going on. I made a device where the plastic acts as a living spring - it flexes with a surprisingly high modulus. I've made a number of things with it already - a cell phone holder, a shoe horn, a cable organizer, even special hook to hold an IV bag on a light stand. I bought the 28 oz to start and despite using it quite a bit, I have barely made a dent - as mentioned, you re-use any leftovers."
"I've already had success in my first project; forming a colored head for my work vehicle keys so I can tell the two keys apart. I used hotter water with no problems."
"One of the things I used this for was to make some interior trim on a vintage car - the hardest part was matching the color, but through trial and error, I eventually got a close match."
"I was expecting this product to stay melted for much longer than it does. I found that it is easiest to work next to a pot of boiling water, so I can reheat the plastic when it gets stiff."

"I spent over 1000$ on two flippers for my missing tooth. I can't afford another so I purchased this I can make over 100 now."
"One gap is to be closed with the trays (bottom), and the other gap is to be opened for a future implant (on top). The orthodontist put a pontix material in my trays so that my gaps didn’t show while my trays were in, but since I need to take my trays out while I eat, I was concerned about how I looked while eating, whether at work or in public. Also, I had to get from my work desk to the restroom to clean my trays, as well as clean my trays in the restroom in hopes that no one saw me while I was brushing my teeth and trays. The top one sort of pops in (behind my top canine tooth) and the bottom one slides in (down in between the two lateral teeth). So I simply put my “tooth” back in hot water again for just a couple of seconds, and remolded it to better fit the microscopic bit that my gap has closed. I could tell there was a little more pressure after a couple of weeks and I didn’t want to negate any progress the Invisalign had accomplished by re-spreading the gap the Invisalign trays were trying to close."
"I found that a Dremel tool and toothpicks came in handy when I was forming the tooth. I highly recommend this product!"
"I have worn retainers every night ever since I got my braces off ten years ago. I have to go to the dentist every couple of years to get new ones because they are just the plastic Invisalign type material and they get disgusting. Being a recent college grad, I don't have that kind of money to fork out right now...so I started doing research and found Instamorph. I closed my mouth and created suction to give that "pop" that u get with a regular retainer."

Reviews
"Because of this low "melting" point, and high durability, it is perfect to keep in a survival bag. I used this with a pigment pack to make key organizers (see pic 1). I fixed a broken zipper attachment and it works perfectly (see pic 2 & 3). I also made a marbelized red tray (with pigment pack, light mixing) to hold stuff! I just wrapped some thermo morph around a jar lol (See pic 4). Other ideas: -TOOLS: this one is HUGE. - latched cup holder (utilizing hooks). -fishing lures. -phone stands (awesome). -Plus infinite more uses. -1 star**. I take a lot of time writing and updating my reviews, so if you found it helpful, there is a button to let me know!!"
"I did read in a forum that the polymorphic plastics becomes more sticky as the temperature rises above 60C, so maybe that reviewer just over-heated his and that's why he had such a mess; I haven't had that problem and I have melted and re-melted a few times."
"First try on computer charge cord, I almost left it too thick, but it works. I added a additional small piece up over the charger head to keep it from bending where head goes into cord."
"We also mixed the acrylic paint right into the ThermoMorph, kneading it until it was mixed, reheating it when necessary to keep pliable until mixed in and made into the desired item."
"Also works great in silicone, metal, glass, or other heat-proof molds!"

"I tried going to my local craft store and using scupting clay, but when it dried, it crumbled before I even touched it. 1 lb made this (see attached image) top piece and eagle, and I still have 1/3 of the jars left! I found some videos online that gave good tips on how to use-- if you have experience at this kind of thing, you may not need it, but it helped me alot."
"I was looking for a better alternative than the overpriced marine-tex and other crappy epoxy available in the marine world, not even because of the price, but because of: 1/ the crazy toxicity of the marine products 2/ the ridiculously short working time 3/ the hard to smooth, impossible to shape texture 4/ the necessity to sand forever after it dries (because you couldn't get it perfectly to shape). This means super strong, waterproof, UV-resistant, can be used inside, outside, underwater, under the water line, on wood, on fiberglass, on metal, on whatever you throw at it. The ability to smooth it, reuse it, cut it, modify it, work on it without rushing, makes it possible to create a finish product in one step, with no need for sanding, no need for cleaning (both can be very time consuming with regular epoxy / fiberglass). No crazy fumes when mixing, and the product won't burn a hole through your hands if you hold it. In fact, you can be in direct contact without feeling anything, and cleaning your hands after is a breeze. 9/ Of course it dries by itself, which is normal for an epoxy, but I guess that if you're an artist, you care about that (as opposed to clay). As for artists, I don't know how it compares to other products, but my guess is that it will be pretty hard to beat this champ."
"You can even use it for crafts, like jewelry making!"
"A little bit goes a LONG way, and it dries super heavy - almost the weight of cement (take that into consideration if you use it to customize your Funko Pop) but it also has the durability of cement.I did a mini version of my family and I as well as a little bunny out of some extra sculpt I had mixed up.Always mix a little at a time because you can always mix up more later, but if you end up mixing up too much, you'll end up with leftover, wasted product (or product you can turn into a mini sculpture, if it's still pliable)."
