Key Characteristics

The Fimo Effect Stone Granite clay is part of the Effect series, designed for artists who want a realistic stone finish without the need for painting or glazing. Its unique composition delivers a smooth, matte surface that mimics natural granite, making it ideal for jewelry, miniature architecture, and decorative objects.

Composition & Material Properties

This clay is formulated with a blend of polymer resins and fine fillers that give it:

• Softness at room temperature: Easy to knead and shape without cracking.
• Durability after baking: When baked at 110 °C for 30–45 minutes, the clay hardens into a solid, non‑porous block that retains detail.
• Colour stability: The stone granite hue remains consistent even after prolonged exposure to light and handling.

Ideal Uses

The Stone Granite effect is perfect for projects where a stone-like appearance is desired without the weight or cost of real stone. Common applications include:

• Miniature architecture: Building facades, walls, and decorative stones.
• Jewelry making: Pendants, rings, and charms that require a subtle grey finish.
• Scale models for gaming or educational purposes.
• Crafting accessories such as keychains or small ornaments.

Working with the Clay

Preparation: Let the clay sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes to soften. Knead thoroughly until a uniform texture is achieved.

Shaping Techniques: Use basic sculpting tools, molds, or hand‑craft methods. The clay holds fine details well, allowing intricate designs.

Baking Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 110 °C (230 °F).
2. Place the shaped piece on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Bake for 30–45 minutes, depending on thickness. Thinner pieces may require less time.
4. Allow the clay to cool completely before handling.

Post‑Baking Care

Once cooled, the hardened clay can be:

• Sanded or filed for smooth edges.
• Painted with acrylics if additional colour is desired.
• Polished with a soft cloth to enhance its matte finish.

Storage Guidelines

Store the clay in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposure to extreme heat or direct sunlight, which can cause premature hardening or discoloration.
