I wasn't quite sure what to expect with this stuff. I've seen videos and gifsets of people messing around with other moldable plastic and I figured it would be a better alternative for making little figures (to later put in a mold and make copies of) rather than trying to figure out how to do CGI stuff and make a 3D printed model with it. Let me tell you, my first 4 hours or so with this were an adventure. I am so glad it can be melted again since I kinda went overboard and tried to make way too much at once. The pictures below show my sculpture in progress, and the final product of my prototype (and all the extra I digged out so I could use it again later)
-First off, don't do what I did and pour enough to fill most of a plastic coffee mug and THEN try and put hot water in there. It won't melt very well and you'll be stuck with a big chunk of half melted pellets that are very hard to work with. I think some of them stuck to the plastic cup.
-Second, while normal coffee mugs are the way to go for melting this, DON'T MELT A HUGE CHUNK ALL AT ONCE. The actually melted bits stick and sting in a manner similar to hot glue (they do peel off painlessly later though) and trying to grab it while it's in the hot water hurts. Use a spatula or some cheap plastic spoon (probably one of those "Crystal" ones that can manage the heat, or a metal one solely for working with this stuff) to get a sufficient chunk out to work with. I used a dowel this first time.
(Also it's probably good to just never use that mug for drinking anything again, it is now the designated Plastic Pellet Mug)
- Third, when you get it in your hands, and it's stopped sticking to them, keep molding the shape for a little bit, it'll still be blobby for another minute.Read more ›

The tech tack is a lot of fun to work with, but there is a bit of a learning process. Thankfully, the material is easy to work with and can be reused. I have a couple of suggestions for first time users.
1. Use a small amount at a time:
the viscosity of the plastic is very fluid and is easy to manage in water, but once you remove the water, it sticks to everything.
2. Use a mold
It can definitely be molded by hand, but small amounts cool fairly quickly. Very fun to play with though, and if you don't like what you have created, put it back into the water and start over again. Molds are much easier to use.
3. Use silicone utensils for assistance.
I used wooden, metal, and silicone utensils to see what worked best. Silicone was the easiest to use, clean, and see where the remaining plastic was. The remnants of plastic came off all of the surfaces, silicone was just the easiest to work with.
4. Wait.
Whether you are using a mold or not, wait till the entire creation is no longer clear. Wait till the plastic returns to its original white coloring before handling or removing the plastic from the mold to ensure a good and complete mold of the plastic.
I used a R2D2 silicone mold to try out my plastic pellets. I boiled the water (note: their suggestion of 150* F was before the water reached a rolling boil in the pan), put in the plastic, waited for it to turn clear, and put the plastic into the mold. Waited for it to turn white and removed it. It was easy and fun to work with. All of the directions for use are located on the listing and on the back of the package of plastic pellets. Best of all, after the plastic dried, it came right off of my pan and utensils with ease.Read more ›
