Plastics:

I am searching for recommendations for a thin malleable plastic which can be easily formed at room temperature. Does not need to be strong. Really appreciate your recommendations of what to look into.

Edit:
Thank you for the replies. What I am imagining is a plastic that is a square that could be ran under warm/hot water while in a plastic wrapping and then easily molded. Even more ideal would be something that is moldable without having to be heated.
Again, thank you for the suggestions.

It sounds to me that you are asking for something that can be melted or bent into a shape and then hold that shape. Try polycaprolactone. You can buy it at Amazon. It's inexpensive and can be molded after warming in hot water.
