Worbla’s Deco Art

Deco Art white pellets that when heated turn clear

These clear pellets are like a plastic putty and sculpting material, either shaping it by hand or with tools, or applying it directly to the surface needs to be to built up. Heat these pellets to 65°C (150°F) with a heat gun, oven, or hot water to create a plastic putty with a low thermal transfer. Once cool or ‘set’ the plastic turns opaque white. Deco Art stays fluid while warm, so it is important to either cool a piece quickly in cool water, or to keep it in a mold until the plastic is opaque again. Otherwise gravity will ‘pull’ your sculpture out of shape!

 

 

  • Activates at 65°C (150°F)
  • Stays fluid while warm (cool items quickly in cool water or keep it in a mold until the plastic is opaque)
  • Make multiple copies of something without resin casting
  • Can be reheated and reused again

 

 

Working with Worbla’s Crystal / Deco Art

 

  • In the microwave:
    In a silicone cupcake mold, add pellets with enough water to cover them. Microwave in short bursts of 10-20 seconds to start, and 10 seconds each time after, until pellets are clear and malleable. Drain water.
  • With a heat gun:
    In a silicone cupcake mold or ceramic bowl that will not be used again, add pellets. Holding the heat gun 10-12 inches away, use a medium or low setting to begin to heat the pellets. When they are completely clear and malleable, remove.
