FIMO liquid is a fluid, oven-hardening gel characterised by its high transparency and extreme flexibility.

Should baked polymer clay be bendable?

Polymer clay beads should be bendable if they are baked correctly. Under-baked polymer clay won’t be bendable. It will be brittle and easy to break. So if you can bend your beads without them snapping, like the one in the photo, then you’re baking polymer clay the right way.

How do you bake Fimo Soft?
