Hi. Is Fimo air softer and easier to knead/roll than og Fimo? 😊

Fimo Air and oven-hardening Fimo are two different types of polymer clay that cannot be directly compared. Also, there are different hardnesses of oven-hardening FIMO. However, each type of clay has its own characteristics and advantages. Fimo Air is an air-drying polymer clay with a soft texture, as it does not need to be oven-baked. Oven-hardening Fimo, on the other hand, is a polymer clay that needs to be baked in a conventional oven to harden and cure. FIMO professional tends to be firmer and denser than air-drying polymer clay. Irrespective of this, a bowl like this can of course also be created wonderfully with oven-hardening FIMO. The process is similar to the one in the video: shape the base plate and apply the "snakes". Oven-hardening FIMO has good "self-adhesive properties", but instead of slurry (at min. 2:50) you can apply a thin layer of FIMO liquid.
