Which Fimo clay is the strongest?
Among polymeric clay, Fimo Professional is the firmest and most resistant after firing. For beginners, we recommend more malleable clay such as Fimo Soft.
Is Fimo Professional clay suitable for beginners?
This polymer clay requires strength to knead and a certain technical mastery, so it's best avoided if you're just starting out. Beginners will prefer to start with Fimo Soft, which is much easier to work with, then move on to Professional once they're comfortable.
Can you create jewelry with Fimo Professional?
Yes, Fimo Professional can be used to create very elegant jewelry, with or without effects, whether round beads or pendants with smooth finishes. It's perfect for advanced techniques such as precise gradations, imitation materials (stone, wood, etc.) and detailed beads.

Absolutely! All Fimo clay can be mixed together. Mixing Professional and Soft allows you to obtain an intermediate texture: firmer than Soft, but softer than Professional. Ideal for adjusting consistency to your project.
