Fimo Pro: replaces Fimo Classic. It is firm and less flexible than Soft or Effect. It is the most resistant to firing in the range and can be mixed with all other Fimo clay.
Liquid Fimo : liquid and transparent, it becomes soft and flexible after firing. It is used in particular forimage transfers, glazing and depth effects.
