PolyShape from Interstate Plastics is an inert, non-toxic, biodegradable polycaprolactone material that has an unlimited number of uses. PolyShape consists of small white beads, approximately 1/8" in diameter, that become clear and behave like clay when heated in hot water. The PolyShape can then be formed by hand or molded around an object until it hardens into an extremely tough finished product. This process can be sped up by placing the finished product in cold water. As the PolyShape solidifies it turns back to its white color and holds the shape that it was formed to.
