Product Description

ThermoMorph Advanced Modeling Compound.

  • Moldable when warm, solidifies at room temperature
  • Made of lightweight polyester thermoplastic
  • Acts like clay when warm but as strong plastic once cooled

Unlike other products that lock in shape forever once they are dry, ThermoMorph can be reheated over and over again and re-molded into any number of configurations. Extremely practical with hundreds of uses.

Use ThermoMorph around the house for small DIY tasks. Create grips for Allen wrenches, stop small leaks, make brackets for walls, or add handles to cutlery.

A perfect solution for professionals. Create props, masks, and prototypes.

How to use:

  1. Heat water to 150+ degrees F.
  2. Pour ThemoMorph pellets into the water.
  3. Wait approximately two minutes or until white ThermoMorph pellets turn clear and stick together.
  4. Remove from the water, and get rid of any remaining liquid between the pellets.
  5. Form into desired shape with your hands, tools, molds, or any other means necessary. (Add food coloring if you wish.)
  6. Once your Polymorph creation is finalized, let it cool to room temperature and use.

I like the skillet because you can dial in the temp
by Brian Henry (5 out of 5 stars)
September 9, 2016

Showed up right on time and was exactly what I was expecting. I've used thermoplastic pellets a number of times for a number of uses. Different brands most times. It all seems to perform the same way. You heat it up in water warmed in either a microwave or an electric skillet. I like the skillet because you can dial in the temp, let it heat properly and then stir it in the hot water ensuring its all conglomerated. It doesn't really leave any residue unless you do it A LOT but even then, it's usually cleanable. With microwaved water you're sort of playing a guessing game with temperature and have fleeting seconds before it cools down too much but it works.

The pellets are nice and even, not stuck in clumps like I've seen a couple times. Easy to work with, cool to a clean white finish which can then be tooled as well to go for whatever you're looking for. I've made shims, containers, small replacements or broken parts (see photo: I used a small amount and filled in a gap in a broken bracket of a seat back. The original part sheared and the only way to fix it was replace it or fill it in so it will hold the cushion in place. I molded the pellets and squeezed them in to place with all parts assembled and once it cooled it was solid and hard and completely fixed my favorite chair). I've also made spacers and prototypes of small gear that I refined with knives and carving tools. It's very handy stuff.

Anyways, this one works and came in a nice tub that I'm sure I'll repurpose when the pellets are gone. Sometimes the stuff comes in a bag, which, for whatever it's worth, is a little boring but in no way means reflects on the product's quality.

It was reasonably priced and arrived when I expected and in tact, so the seller is doing a good job on that front as well. A

Seems like 5 stars to me...

Just couldn't make anything with it.
by C.M. Hicks (3 out of 5 stars)
November 2, 2018

I had plans for this molding plastic but wasn't able to use it like in the videos or reviews. I never could get it molded into anything usable. I tried to form a temporary drain cover and failed. It didn't stick to glass or fill in wood or anything I needed it to stick to. Shaping it was beyond my ability, couldn't handle the material. It melts quickly, stays pretty warm, and is pliable. I put the cooled melted pieces back into the jar and will look for You Tube videos before trying again. Maybe the stars are for my lack of ability instead of the product. It was a LOT more challenging than I expected. A brochure with examples and suggestions would have helped me a lot. Take a close look before you buy unless you are familiar with melted plastic free form projects.

Not a replacement for TempTooth
by Darwin Teague (4 out of 5 stars)
January 29, 2016

This stuff expands quite a bit as it cools. I tried to use it like TempTooth. I can make something that fits really comfortable while warm, but as it cools it expands quite a bit. I have tried grinding it down with a Dremel and I have gotten it close enough that I feel I can get it to work, but it is going to take several tries to get it right. If you want to make a temporary tooth, buy TempTooth or maybe InstaMorph.

I still gave it 4 stars because it is a really nice product for other uses.

Handy stuff, like real hand..
by Dennis R. Carr (5 out of 5 stars)
April 10, 2015

Just out around to practice with it. Made a hand print. Dang it turns harder than I expected.

Gonna be messing with this for a long time. Might have to break something so I can fix it

Used blue light to highlight it.

Keep in mind when using it, try to use an old pan to heat in it. You could ruin because if the pan is NOT Porcelain Enamel it will stick like nothing you have ever seen. Even then you might have a problem, cold water makes it come off best.

Have not made anything practicable yet, but you can stand on a section and it only bends, does not break. See photo, I weight 270 and if you want to make round balls like in the picture, you have to roll between your hands under cold water otherwise it will flatten out on the table.

Love it...
by ebschmidt (5 out of 5 stars)
January 2, 2017

Love this stuff. If I worked in an industry other than edu, I'm sure I'd have myriad practical uses for it, but I just play around with it. Just to see if I could, I created a crossbow using about two pounds of the material and about two feet of pvc piping. It's not terribly accurate, but it will send an eraser-tipped bolt about 125 feet. One possibly more practical use--since the plastic is light, unbreakable, and easy to work with, it has a lot of potential in creating implements of self-defense, especially considering that anything you make with it is perfectly molded to your hand.

This stuff is pretty awesome.
by Emaxx Owner (5 out of 5 stars)

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.

Its STRONG and easy to work with! + ideas/uses for it! (UPDATE 01/14/16 CONFIRMED NON TOXICITY!)
by HardyHar (5 out of 5 stars)

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!!

Pleasantly Surprised with the results.
by Jesica Smith (5 out of 5 stars)

Absolutely love these moldable plastic pellets! I was skeptical at first, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to melt and mold the plastic beads. With that said, I don't follow the boil water method to melt the beads. I use a heat gun on a low setting and melt the beds in a heat retaining bowl. As long as I do short bursts of heat with the heat gun the plastic stays malleable without burning my fingers. The plastic hardens as it cools, is durable, and is easy to prime and paint.

Great Product.

great for cosplay.
by Kim (5 out of 5 stars)
January 17, 2017

I'm a cosplayer and I love this stuff. I have been using it a lot on my latest cosplay and it has been wonderful! It gets a little annoying constantly heating up my water but I only have to do that cause I am making so much stuff with it. if you are only making a small piece you shouldn't have this problem. Its also hard to get smooth just using you hands but i also didn't mind that. I made spikes for my cosplay armor, belt buckles, small added details and still have half the container left. Oh it also took the paint very well!

First time making fake teeth! So happy :-)
by thazsar (5 out of 5 stars)
October 21, 2016

This stuff is awesome!!! Never used moldable plastic until today. Made these fake teeth for Halloween (2016) using ThermoMorph, food coloring, (non-toxic) super glue & clear nail polish. I think they came out pretty good and they fit my teeth like a glove!

Used this tutorial by ellimacs sfx:
[...]

Steps for making teeth:
- Heat 1 cup water for 1 minute (reheat water whenever needed; you can leave plastic in the measuring cup while reheating)
- Melt beads
- Take some plastic and add food coloring (for gums)
- Half the colored plastic
- Use 1st half of colored plastic for upper teeth mold (allow to dry then trim for comfort)
- Make teeth shapes using the clear plastic (I made eight teeth)
- Super glue teeth to mouth mold (let dry)
- Take a small strip of colored plastic and lay over the glued teeth to replicate gums (shape accordingly; might require super glue)
- Use the rest of the colored plastic to form a mold for bottom teeth
- Using Brown, Red and Yellow food coloring, decorate teeth how you like (I used a Q-Tip but a small brush would work, too)
- Coat w/ nail polish to seal in color and give shine (let dry)

DONE!!!
