🎭 About Cameo Colour
Cameo is a light ivory-flesh shade – sits between pure white and typical skin tones. Popular as a base for doll-making, portrait miniatures, and pieces where you'll add shading or detail painting. Bakes to a semi-matte, porcelain-like finish. May darken very slightly after baking – test small sample if colour-critical.

❓ Quick FAQ
Good for thin, delicate pieces?
Yes – Professional line's main strength. Thin walls and sharp edges hold shape through baking.

Can I mix with FIMO Soft or Doll Art?
Yes – all FIMO ranges are fully compatible. Great for custom skin tone blends.

Which glue should I use for plastic, resin or metal?
Plastic cement welds polystyrene kits; resin and metal don't react to cement, so use super glue (CA). PVA is for basing materials only.
Green Stuff or Milliput — which putty?
Green Stuff stays slightly flexible and holds fine sculpted detail; Milliput cures rock-hard and sands smooth, ideal for gap filling. Many modellers mix the two.
How long does epoxy putty take to cure?
Workable for roughly 60–90 minutes, fully cured in about 24 hours at room temperature — check each product's description for exact times.
