Worbla’s® Crystal
Art (WCA) – the transparent thermoplastic pearls for filigree casting
and emblazed treasures from Cast4Art!
Like all the products
of the Worbla’s® Art
Series it is declared to be non-toxic
and solvent-free. Worbla’s® Crystal
Art is not as hard as regular
plastics are. It stays a little softer and flexible.
The material is
activated by heat (best approx. 110°C / 230°F) using a heat gun, hardens after
about 10 minutes while staying transparent and can be reactivated at any time!
Because of the working heat it is strongly advised wearing working gloves
with rubberized fingers while working with it!
This product is very
easy to handle: Put some of the WCA pearls
into a bin (e.g. baking paper or a silicone mould) and use a heat gun for
activation. After the pearls became sticky and soft you can use e.g. silicone
moulds and others or modelling tools for creating all different kind of
fantastic things (remember: heat protection!)
It contains glue and
sticks very well to itself and to other products of the Worbla’s® Art Series.
Acrylic, spray-paint,
mirror colours or iDyePoly (Jacquard Products) can be used for colouring the WCA’s surface. Glitter or water-based
body paint can be kneaded with the material while it is activated.
Using iDyePoly you can even dye the pearls themselves: Put
the WCA into a metal wire (no
plastic!) and dip them into the hot water containing the dye - after some
minutes you can reactivate and use the dyed pearls without any mess because the
dye stays inside the material even while activated.
This means using the Worbla’s® Crystal
Art you can fabricate extremely
filigree surfaces which are flexible but inherently stable and might be
wonderfully emblazed.
Tips: Heating its
surface with a “Brûlée“torch or a flare match for a second makes dull spots
shiny again – surely clear lacquer works as well!
Do not knead the Worbla’s® Crystal
Art too much, this produces
air bubbles. To get mostly rid of them again, place the activated material
between baking paper and use a rolling pin.
Before using the Worbla’s® Crystal
Art for the first time it‘s
strongly advised to watch the official HowToUse Introductions (with English
subtitles)!
