STAEDTLERFIMO Effect Blue Ice Quartz (306) FIMO Effect Polymer Modelling Moulding Clay Block Oven Bake Colour 56g (Pack of 1)

I use polymer clay frequently since I am a professional artist. This Fimo Blue Ice Quartz was the exact beautiful color I needed to appear to be glass as I was in the process of making a commissioned sculpture. Because it was so dry I worked for hours to crumble it and hours of hitting it with a wood mallet , and then trying to roll it out was also extremely difficult. I baked it exactly as directed. The Fimo grew dark and matte and it did shrink a bit. I wanted to sent it back, but if Fimo sends out a product this dry how could I trust them not to do it again and I had a deadline to meet. A child could not begin to get this product soft and malleable. I could not.
