Polymorph Moldable Plastic Pellets
What is Polymorph?
Polymorph is a fantastic moldable plastic that comes as small white pellets. Think of it as "magic plastic" that becomes soft and moldable when heated with warm water, then hardens back into strong plastic when it cools down. It's perfect for making custom parts, repairs, prototypes, crafts, and countless DIY projects. Its also biodegradable in soil.
Key Benefits:
-
Reusable forever - Heat it up and reshape it as many times as you want
-
Safe to use - Works with just warm water (no dangerous chemicals)
-
Strong when cool - Hardens into durable plastic that won't break easily
-
Easy to customize - Can be painted, dyed, or colored while soft
-
Versatile - Great for repairs, crafting, prototyping, and creative projects
How to Use Polymorph
What You Need:
- Polymorph pellets
- Hot water (around 60°C/140°F - about as hot as a very hot bath)
- A heat-safe container or bowl
- Tongs or spoon for handling
Simple Instructions:
Step 1: Heat the Water
- Heat water to around 60°C (you can use very hot tap water or boil water then let it cool slightly)
- Pour the hot water into a bowl
Step 2: Add the Pellets
- Drop the white polymorph pellets into the hot water
- Wait about 1 minute - you'll see the pellets turn from white to completely clear
- When they're clear and starting to stick together, they're ready
Step 3: Shape It
- Carefully remove the clear, soft plastic with tongs (it will be warm but not burning hot)
- Quickly mold it with your hands into whatever shape you need
- You have about 2-3 minutes of working time before it starts to harden
Step 4: Let It Cool
- Once you're happy with the shape, let it cool for a few minutes
- It will turn white again and become hard plastic
