A local (Oz) puppeteer uses 'Plastimake' a reusable, re-moldable plastic that hardens, for making a prop.

Cool project! I think that here in the states that Friendly Plastic manufactures the pellets now along with the old strips they first started with. Found this page on the basics of FP http://www.amaco.com/2009/friendly-plastic-bible-tools-and-materials/  kind of focuses more on the strips but has some cool information like adhesives that can be used etc.

Neat! I love the idea of the marbling comb. Man... I wish I had more time/money to go out and play with stuff like this. There are so many cool things I'd love to try.

Na - You can make your own marbling comb. Use the beads and soften them up, lay out in a strip. Before they cool completely, imbed straight pins into the plastic. (I line them up with a piece of tape before hand.) Once it's cool, work up another strip and lay on top of the first one.

If you want to, you can actually mold this to the shape of your hand. You can use the points as is, or grind them down by running across a piece of sandpaper.

Hey Na, there is a product we can get here in Aust that is very affordable which is a freindly plastic called Worblas Art Deco and you can purchase for about $18.00 for about 200g

Thanks guys - but I'm trying not to spend any money on materials right now, especially if there's no actual reason I need them. But noted for future wealth

Wow if I only had the time to try this product out, so useful.
