ABSTRACT:
A heat shapeable and deformable composite comprising (i) a thermoplastic layer of a plastic which softens to a flowable condition at temperatures in the range of above about 20.degree. C. to about 110.degree. C. and which is solid and non-flowable at a temperature of about 20.degree. C., adhesively bonded to (ii) a foil layer having a thickness less than that of (i); a process of making the heat shapeable and deformable composite which comprises heat compressing (i) to (ii); and handcrafting the composite by subjecting a composite of (i) adhesively bonded to (ii) to a temperature above the softening temperature of the thermoplastic layer and softening the thermoplastic layer, removing the heated composite from the application of heat such that its temperature is caused to decrease, shaping the composite while the thermoplastic layer is still soft, and cooling the composite to a temperature below the thermoplastic's softening temperature.
