❓ Quick FAQ
Can I make very thin pieces?
Yes – that's the main advantage of Professional. Thin walls hold shape without tearing.
Do I need to seal after baking?
Optional. Varnish adds gloss and scratch resistance, especially useful for jewellery.
Can I mix with FIMO Soft?
Yes – all FIMO lines are fully compatible. Mix to adjust firmness or blend colours.

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.
