Fimo is another brand of polymer clay made in Germany by Staedtler (it’s roughly pronounced Sted-ler). Fimo makes Fimo Professional, Fimo Classic (though this is phasing out), Fimo Soft, and Fimo Kids polymer clays. There’s even Fimo Air, an air-dry modelling clay that isn’t actually polymer clay.

There are many brands of polymer clay and they’re all a bit different. Some are stronger than others, some are more flexible, some are more brittle, some are easier to work with, others are too mushy. There is no one best polymer clay brand to use.
What is the difference between Sculpey and Sculpey III?
Super Sculpey is formulated for dollmakers. It comes in a few neutral and skin tone shades, has a semi-translucent finish and holds detail well.

What is the difference between Fimo Soft and Fimo professional?

Why did my Sculpey clay burn?
Sometimes you’ll find that your polymer clay beads will come out of the oven with a brownish tint ranging from a slight yellow to a dark burn depending on how bad the scorch was. This happens when the oven you are using (a toaster oven in my case) has open elements that send direct heat onto your polymer clay.

What is Sculpty clay?
It makes sense, because you can sculpt with it. But sculpty comes from a brand name of polymer clay called Sculpey that’s made by the Polyform company. There’s not actually a single modelling clay called Sculpey.
Can you mix Sculpey III with other clays?
You won’t need to mix it with anything else, for good results. The price is usually a little more than some of the other clays but you can get it cheap (99 cents) if you wait for sales at places like Michaels. SculpeyIII is not the best choice because it can break so easily, which is very disappointing.
