Testing Polymer Clay Flexibility At 12 mm Thickness In Diameter

Test samples selected subjected to further flexibility test at 12mm thickness in diameter, after baking for 40 minutes at the temperature of 140º C, these are the flexible clay, Fimo Classic, Fimo Soft, Premo, Filani and Pardo.

The clay that are flexible after the two test,
2.0mm thickness and 6.0mm thickness

12mm test samples prepared to be baked
in the oven at a temperature of 140º C for
40 minutes

Baked test sample after 40 minutes

Various test samples rigid and hard

Using my fingers to compress does
not bend or flex the 12mm thick clay

Using both hands, I am able to bend the
12mm thick Fimo Classic clay

Using my fingers to compress does
not bend or flex the 12mm thick clay
Using both hands, I am able to bend the
12mm thick Fimo Soft clay
Using my fingers to compress does
not bend or flex the 12mm thick clay

Using both hands, I am able to bend the
12mm thick Premo clay

Using my fingers to compress I can
 flexed the 12mm thick clay

Using both hands, I am able to bend the
12mm thick Filani clay

Using my fingers to compress does
not bend or flex the 12mm thick clay

Using both hands, I am able to bend the
12mm thick Pardo clay, that does not
shows any cracks unlike the previous
two tests, both on 2.0mm and 6.0mm


Conclusion:
The final result with regards to the most flexible polymer clay is Filani 
even at 12 mm thickness.
