Worbla’s Black Art.

Worbla’s Black Art has a finer texture to give a smoother finish than Worbla’s Finest Art, allowing for finer detailing both for sculpting and for building detail onto a piece.

• Sheet size: 500 x 374mm
• Ideal for pieces requiring finer detailing
• Less priming needed, compared to Worbla’s Finest Art.
• Can be left unprimed, the surface close to that of EVA foam
• Non toxic
• Can be shaped by hand without requiring special safety gear
• Heat with a hot air gun, water or steam to shape the plastic however you want
• You can form complex curves without requiring a vacuform
• One side is the ‘glue’ side, when heated, it can be attached to other layers
• Can be layered to itself or over a foam such as plastazote to add bulk
• When cool, can be sanded without damage
• Any scraps can be re-blended and moulded like putty.
• Can be cut to your artwork in our Laser Department
