FIMOair light is a lightweight, smooth modelling compound for pendants, mobiles and wall decorations where the weight of your piece matters. It is ready to shape straight from the pack and dries in the air without a pottery kiln.

You receive one selected pack. White offers a neutral base for painted decorations; terracotta gives a warm clay colour you can leave visible. Choose 125 g for a small project or a larger pack for more pieces. Tools, paint, cord and the pictured decorations are not included.
Shaping and preparation
Work on baking paper, a silicone mat or a smooth wooden board. The compound can stick to glass.
- Take only the amount you need and keep the remaining clay sealed.
- Shape by hand or with modelling tools; make hanging holes while the clay is still moist.
- Leave the piece to dry at room temperature, turning it regularly so all sides dry.
- Wait until it is completely hard before finishing. Depending on thickness, this takes a few hours to a few days.
Drying and finishing
Do not speed up drying with a hairdryer or direct sunlight, as this can cause cracks. Once hard, the piece can be filed, sanded, drilled, painted or varnished. Varnish does not make it waterproof; display decorations in a dry place.
Storing leftovers
Keep opened clay airtight at room temperature, for example in a screw-top jar, with a few drops of water. Small cracks can be filled with fresh FIMOair compound. Air-drying clay does not need an oven-baking programme like FIMO polymer clay.
