Similar to nylon and polypropylene in toughness., except it&#8217;s easy to work with and shape.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You get a bag of plastic pellets, put them in 160F water, and they phase change, becoming soft and moldable. If you don&#8217;t let the water get too hot, when you take the plastic out, it&#8217;s cool enough to shape with your hands.<\/p>\n<p>When it cools down, it hardens into a strong, durable, paintable, machine-able white plastic. If you don&#8217;t like what you made, you just put it in 160F water again and reshape it.<\/p>\n<p>Great for making prototypes &#8212; also fun to play with.<\/p>\n<form class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"mt-image-none\" src=\"\/wp-content\/archiveimages\/archives\/shapelock_form.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"148\" \/><\/form>\n<div class='ctx-module-container ctx_default_placement ctx-clearfix'><\/div><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moldable plastic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[53],"tags":[1350],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=623"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39273,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/623\/revisions\/39273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tkdev.kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
