Its STRONG and easy to work with! + ideas/uses for it! (UPDATE 01/14/16 CONFIRMED NON TOXICITY!)

UPDATE 01/14/16 CONFIRMED NON TOXICITY! (click helpful so people can see)
I emailed thermomorph to inquire about the toxicity of this plastic and I am happy to say they emailed me back confirming my hypothesis from before! It's NONtoxic! :)

Disclaimer: you can make jewellery and roleplay stuff but I use it for repairs and other useful things as seen below:

First and foremost: this stuff is extremely strong. When used lightely it can be flexible. (Can make springs when wrapped around cylindrical objects)

It needs around 140°F (60° Celsius) to get pliable. Because of this low "melting" point, and high durability, it is perfect to keep in a survival bag. (See "tools" below) I keep a 50gram ball in my bookbag. (See pic 5)

A lot of people ask if they can use it in the sun. It really does depend on the day because of the TEMPERATURE. The sun is irrelevant, though.

It will generally hold its shape outside. Just don't leave it in the car because it starts to get soft around 90°f after a while.

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. You can make custom tools. For example, if you need to take a bolt off, take a certain amount (more=sturdier) and press it on to the bolt to make its shape and then toss in ice water. Boom. (See pic 6 & 7)

-Custom Handles: extremely useful. Wrap it around whatever you want and slowly make your hand imprint for a custom made handle.

-hooks: extremely useful, it can be drilled if needed, but you can make one that can latch.

- latched cup holder (utilizing hooks)

-fishing lures

-phone stands (awesome)

-Plus infinite more uses.

This is also the cheapest polycaprolactone for the amount.

**I am unaware of the toxicity of this product. Generally it is assumed it is non toxic since this is a generic version of other same polymers. I asked the company and got no response, unfortunately. -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!! Thank you for reading!!

Excellent product at a very good price.

I compared the price of Thermomorph with other 6 brands of polymorphic plastic and Thermomorph's price per gram was the lowest.

After reading some of the reviews I was afraid of the quality of the product but I decided to try it anyway and I'm very happy I did.

First, one reviewer said that the product is "dust-like pellets" but I found that the shape and size of the beads or pellets is the same as all the other polymorphic products, "regular size" plastic pellets (3mm x 3mm or 1/8" x 1/8"); Perhaps that has changed since that review.

Second, I melted the product using 60C (140F) and the product didn't get sticky as a review mentions. 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.

Third, someone mentioned that there is not enough time to shape the object before the product hardens, but all polymorphic plastics have the same issue but the trick is to re-dunk it into the hot water during the molding process, as many times as you need and that way you can get as much time as you want to shape it.

In conclusion, great product at a very good price, definitively recommend.

Magic Stuff!

This stuff is magic! I'm a motorcycle rider, and I don't have fingers on my right hand. I use a throttle adapter so I can ride. Well I was in Death Valley when my adapter broke. I couldn't ride my bike home that night. I ordered this Thermomorph so I could try making my own and it worked perfectly! When it's heated up in hot water it softens enough to make your mold, then it hardens amazingly hard. The plastic is smooth when it's cooled off. I need to make another one that I can smooth out more, but this first one works for me. I have to say Thank You to the company, and now I can ride again!

This stuff is pretty awesome.

So I bought this with the purpose of using it for making rc car parts for an rc car that is no longer being produced. I got it yesterday and played with it by making a small piece about the size of a marble. I tried using Rit Dye in the water as I was melting the plastic and I’m fairly certain that as long as you use enough rit dye and possibly add salt(according to the rit dye instructions) you should be able to get some nice colors out of it. My first test came out a dark bubble gum color, although that was with using about 2 fl oz. red to 1 fl oz. black and about 1 cup of water. I received an e-mail from the seller recommending food coloring, so I will try that next. This plastic seems very similar to nylon, and I tested it with acetone and it will melt, so if you want to remove imperfects an acetone vapor should work. I put a ball of it about the size of a marble in pliers and I wasn't able to crush it after it cooled to room temperature. I used a knife and cut the ball in half and it was difficult with a very sharp knife to cut all the way through it. The ball did have a few small air bubbles but they are small and few enough that I don’t imagine it would ever cause a structural weakness. After the plastic is fully hardened it still seems very elastic for a plastic. It doesn't seem to crack under stress; it instead bends and returns to its initial form. I excited to try to use this for making parts. My only negative would be that there is very little information about this product available currently. The website specifically has almost no information on it. If anyone has any questions just post a comment and I’ll answer them if I can.
