InstaMorph is a special crafting thermoplastic designed to heat up so that it can be manipulated like modeling clay. Once it cools, it hardens into place. Later, it can be reheated to be manipulated again.

Set the digital induction warmer to 150 degrees F and bring the water to temperature.

Then, add in the InstaMorph.

We're looking for the pellets to turn clear and start clumping to one another.

You can see more detailed instructions here:

Take It Out!

Now, you can remove the InstaMorph carefully with tongs or another tool.

Make sure that your tools are coated with olive oil so that the InstaMorph will not stick to them!

Wait a few seconds or so until the InstaMorph is cool enough to touch and you should be fine!

Make your creations now and enjoy!
