Hey guys! I searched this forum and the internet but couldn't find an answer to my question.
what I am wondering is for using worbla for swimmable mer accessories should I purchase worbla finest art or worbla black?
this is the info i have found:
"What are the differences between Worbla’s Black Art and Finest Art?
Worbla’s Finest Art (Sometimes shortened to WFA or Worbla) is highly moldable and activates between 80-90°C / 175-195°F and can be shaped easily by hand.
Worbla’s Finest Art is opaque and used for sculpture, armor, jewelry, props, masks and many other things. TranspArt is clear and has been designed for creating clear casts of items, as well as creating things such as gems, casings for LED lights, visors, and other applications for a clear plastic.
Worbla’s Black Art has almost all of the same properties as Finest Art, but with slightly less adhesion, a longer working time, and the ability to take much finer detail do to the smoother surface. It also requires far less work to smooth before painting.
Can I take Worbla into the pool? Lake? Sea?
Well, that depends on several factors. Worbla itself is fine in water, though it’s suggested you rinse your pieces off afterwords to remove salt/chlorine. If your Worbla is wrapped around foam with open areas (such as the folding method) then you may have more issues with the foam reacting to the chlorine/salt water, and remember that your paint will be what is the most affected by the water. Make sure your paint is waterproof and well sealed.
Can I use Worbla for an Aquarium? Pond? Garden display?
Worbla hasn’t been tested for long-term underwater use, but we expect that it will behave as most plastics do. It’s suggested that Worbla Black be used for water features, as it is less porous than Worbla’s Finest Art. All Worbla products are generally safe for the outdoors, though Wonderflex is suggested for pieces that may be left to the elements for very long periods of time. "
So on one hand finest art adheres better to itself which i think is very important, and on the other hand black sounds better for every other reason but I am worried it won't be adhesive enough.
also does anyone know if e6000 is safe to use on worbla?
thanks in advance
