Plastic is sold in special packaging. If you violate the integrity of the packaging, the plastic begins to harden. Accordingly, before you open the package you need to imagine what you want to create. Despite the fact that the "bar" plastic looks not so great, in the process, it turns out that all ideas have been exhausted, my eyes hurt, hands are tired, and the plastic is still very, very much. There are several ways to solve this problem. The best option is to free up a lot of time to plan quite a large object (or several objects) or to create not alone and listening to good music. In the extreme case it is possible to leave the plastic in water (leave as clay), then it cures. However, plastic is still not clay, long lying in the water, he can not, starting to dissolve in water. A maximum of two days you need to get to work, pre-pressing water from a plastic cloth.
