The difference between Cernit and Fimo pastes
When you're a beginner, it's sometimes hard to know which polymer clay to choose ! We compare Cernit vs Fimo for you! Fimo clay is indisputably the best-known polymer clay. It's great fun to model, and there's a wide choice of colors.
You'll find Fimo air which is a self-hardening paste, Fimo Soft which is very supple, Fimo effect which has a metallic, glittery or translucent look, and Fimo professionnal which is rather firm.
Cernit is a very soft, malleable polymer clay. It lies somewhere between Fimo Soft and Fimo Classique.
