Plastic synthetic clay which can be moulded around handles of cutlery and other household items (eg. stove, TV, knobs) to build them up. This is a permanent adaptation to cutlery. The clay is set in an oven.
Directions:
. The Pimbo Clay must be made pliable by working a piece in the hands for approximately 10 minutes. It can then be easily moulded around the handle of cutlery etc. to the required shape.
. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 5 minutes.
. Place the the article with the Pimbo Clay handle on an oven tray and cook for 10-15 minutes. If left longer than 15 minutes the clay starts to turn light brown and discolours. The clay is ready if it retains the shape when touched. If utensil cannot be put in oven, it can be set in boiling water until hard but the handle is not as strong using this method.
. Take out of oven and leave to cool or run handle under cold water.
