Product Information
🔥 Thermoplastic Beads – Infinitely Reusable Plastic
Drop into hot water → mould like clay → hardens like plastic when cool. Re-melt and reshape as many times as you need.
📦 What You Get
100g of white, hard pellets made from low-temperature thermoplastic polymer. At ~60-70°C they turn transparent and soft – shape whatever you want. Once cooled, they're solid white and rigid again. No chemicals, no hardener – just hot water.

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.
