[[Polycaprolactone]] plastic, sold under the name "Polymorph" and "Shapelock", is used in modeling and DIY on a small scale. It is a very tough plastic at room temperature, with a very good impact resistance and tensile strength, however when heated to 62*C it becomes a rubbery, mouldable putty. It is very useful for repairing plastic objects because of the way it sticks to them well when hot. If sticking is not desired then the outer layer can be cooled with water and the inside will remain pliable.
It is very useful for the creation of prototype models because of its ability to be moulded without expensive machinery.
